Start at Costigan's Pub, a lively spot with a big selection of whiskey. Order a drink and perhaps a snack to settle in before the walk.
16:22
Walk seven minutes northeast to Bishop Lucey Park. Use this time to stretch your legs and get your bearings in the city centre before heading up to the cathedral grounds.
16:52
Arrive at St Fin Barre's Cathedral. The Gothic Revival facade catches the final rays of the setting sun in the southwest. Find a quiet corner inside or on the steps to watch the light fade.
17:37
End your evening at The Oval, a welcoming pub just six minutes away. Enjoy the quiet music and traditional decor as the city lights come on.
