If you’re living at The Davitt by havitat, lucky you! You’ve got the Red Luas Line right on your doorstep at Goldenbridge Luas Station, making it incredibly easy to explore some of the best spots in Dublin. Whether you’re in the mood for history, a pint, shopping, or a stunning riverside walk, here’s a quick guide to some key stops along the way and what’s waiting for you at each one.
1. Collins Barracks (The Museum Stop) – 8 mins / 6 stops away from The Davitt
History buffs, this one’s for you! Just a short ride from Goldenbridge, Collins Barracks is home to the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History. It’s packed with fascinating exhibitions, from fine furniture to military artifacts, giving you a deep dive into Ireland’s past. Even if you’re not a history enthusiast, the stunning architecture of the old barracks is worth seeing in itself.
2. James’s Stop – 5 mins / 4 stops away from The Davitt
By now, you’re probably ready for a pint, and there’s no better place to get one than at the Guinness Storehouse. Hop off here, take the tour, and enjoy a perfectly poured Guinness with a 360-degree view of Dublin from the Gravity Bar. But James’s stop isn’t just about Guinness – you’re also at the edge of The Liberties, one of Dublin’s most historic neighborhoods. Wander down Francis Street, Dublin’s famous antique quarter, where you’ll find unique treasures, vintage furniture, and old-world charm. And if you fancy a traditional pub experience, you’re in the right place – The Liberties is full of them!
3. The Point Luas Stop – 25 mins / 15 stops away from The Davitt
If you stay on the Red Line all the way to the last stop, you’ll find yourself at The Point. This area is buzzing with activity, home to 3Arena, one of Dublin’s top concert venues, and the Convention Centre Dublin. But the real showstopper here is the Samuel Beckett Bridge. It’s an architectural masterpiece and a dream for photographers, especially when it lights up at night. Whether you’re catching a gig or just taking a scenic walk along the River Liffey, this stop is well worth the trip.
4. Abbey Street – 15 mins / 10 stops away from The Davitt
Welcome to the heart of the city! Hopping off at Abbey Street puts you within walking distance of Dublin’s major landmarks. You can’t miss The Spire, one of the city’s most famous (and tallest!) monuments. Right nearby, you’ll also find the Philadelphia–Dublin Portal, a fascinating live-streamed connection between the two cities. If you’re in the mood for shopping, Arnotts, Dublin’s iconic department store, is right around the corner, with a huge range of restaurants and cafés to explore.
