Iveagh Gardens

The Iveagh Gardens are a public park in the heart of Dublin, County Dublin, tucked behind the buildings of St Stephen’s Green and reached through discreet entrances that keep the space quieter than the city’s better known parks. The design includes a cascade and rockery, formal lawns, wooded walks, a maze and a rose garden.

It is a fine place for a stroll or a sit with a book, and the gardens occasionally host outdoor concerts and events during the summer months. Admission is free.
