Keep walking straight until you reach the junction with George's Street. At this intersection, take a left and continue until you see the bustling area of Temple Bar. As you reach Temple Bar, walk towards the river and follow the banks until you reach Capel Street. Grattan Bridge will be directly in front of you.

  Begin at the nearest bus stop on O'Connell Street. Take any bus heading towards the city center that stops at the 'Temple Bar' area. Once you get off the bus, follow the signs towards the river. Walk towards the Liffey River and head west along the riverbank until you reach Capel Street. Grattan Bridge is located just off Capel Street, and you can see the bridge from the riverside.

• Tram (LUAS)

  If you are near a LUAS stop, take the Green Line tram towards Broombridge. Get off at the 'Abbey Street' stop. From there, head east towards the river and cross over O'Connell Bridge. Once across, turn left and walk along the riverbank. Continue on the path until you reach Capel Street, where Grattan Bridge is located.
