Timeline
15:20
Grab a coffee at As One. The café is open until 15:30 on weekdays, giving you just enough time before the sun dips low. It is a short walk from the theatre, so you can start here without rushing.
16:06
Walk to The Lombard for a pre-sunset drink. This bar is open until 23:30 on weekdays, so it will be bustling as the afternoon light fades. It is a ten minute walk from the theatre, making it a convenient stop before heading out.
16:36
Stand by the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. The sun sets toward the SW, casting long shadows across the modern architecture. This is the moment to pause and watch the light change over the River Liffey.
17:21
End the evening at Merrion Square Park. The walk from the theatre takes about thirteen minutes southwest. The Georgian square offers a quiet contrast to the day's energy, perfect for winding down as the city lights come on.
Local tip
The walk between steps is short and manageable. If you choose the café step, check that it is before 15:30 on a weekday. The Lombard and Merrion Square are open late, so timing is flexible for the rest of the route.
