Located at College Green is the Bank of Ireland, and then there's Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. In Meeting House Square, there are lots of crafts and food markets on the weekends. Henry Street, located in the city center on the northern side of the river, is a great place for shopping. South of the Liffey river is the Temple Bar, home to the largest group of pubs, restaurants and clubs in the city.
