Ireland’s capital, Dublin, is a harbor city built along the banks of the Liffey River. Its history over the millennia has largely unfolded around this river and its harbors.

On the north bank of the Liffey, odd-numbered sections are mainly commercial and industrial, while even-numbered sections on the south bank focus on culture and education.

One of the most interesting ways to understand a city is to take a stroll along the river that runs through it—you can quickly grasp the city's character.

The Liffey River supplies most of Dublin’s domestic and industrial water, as well as offering spaces for water-based leisure and recreation—it can be called the mother river of Dublin.

The Liffey River stretches 80 kilometers in total and has, in recent years after renovation, become an indispensable part of Dubliners’ recreational life.
