Getting to Vicar Street
Vicar Street is situated on Thomas Street, which is located west of Temple Bar.
To get there, start at Trinity College and head along Dame Street. Keep going straight ahead, past
Christchurch Cathedral where the street becomes Thomas Street. Vicar Street is located here on the
left hand side.
If travelling from outside the city, you can take the N4 into the city from the M50. After passing
Heuston Station and crossing the river, you will drive for about 700 metres before you can turn right
off Ellis Quay, back over the river again. This brings you onto Bridgefoot Street. Continue for about
400 metres. Turn right onto Thomas Street, and you should find Vicar Street on the left.
