Yeats Memorial: A Tribute to Literary Greatness

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're in the city center, make your way to O'Connell Street, a major thoroughfare in Dublin. From O'Connell Street, head east towards the River Liffey and cross the pedestrian bridge, O'Connell Bridge. Once on the south side of the river, turn left and walk along the riverbank until you reach the intersection with the main road, Westmoreland Street. Continue walking straight until you reach the roundabout at College Green. At College Green, you will see the iconic Trinity College on your left. Proceed straight, and you will find Nassau Street ahead of you. Follow Nassau Street until you reach Kildare Street, and then turn right. Continue down Kildare Street until you reach the junction with Molesworth Street, where you will find the entrance to St. Stephen's Green. The Yeats Memorial is located within St. Stephen's Green, near the southeastern corner of the park.

• Public Transport

  From your location in Dublin, find the nearest Luas tram stop. If you're close to the Red Line, take the tram towards The Point or if you're on the Green Line, take it towards Broombridge. Alight at the Abbey Street stop if you're on the Red Line or at the Harcourt stop if you're on the Green Line. After getting off, head towards O'Connell Street, and then follow the walking directions provided above from O'Connell Street to St. Stephen's Green. This is a convenient way to reach the area while avoiding the hassle of walking the entire distance.

• Bus

  Locate the nearest bus stop and board any bus heading towards the city center. Popular routes include 46A, 145, and 151. Ask the driver to let you know when you reach St. Stephen's Green, or look for the stop at the intersection of St. Stephen's Green and Kildare Street. Once you get off the bus, walk into St. Stephen's Green park, and the Yeats Memorial will be located in the southeastern part of the park. This is an easy way to access the memorial without too much walking.
