bringing specialty craft coffee to Meath St. Though it is very different from its neighbours, it has settled in well. I sit and work at LEGIT’s communal table (complete with well-placed plug sockets) for a couple of hours, looking up to enjoy the view of the street through the wall to floor windows. Often, artists from nearby studios call in for a chat with the staff, while local mums manueuvre their prams around the wooden furniture to sit down the back of the café for tea and chats.

excellent selection of craft beers. The staff regularly rotates the tasty brews on draught here and invite different breweries to do “tap takeovers,” where large sections of taps are devoted to one brewery. So, always ask the barman for recommendations of what to drink on the night (craft beer tasting selections are available). There is usually live music on the ground floor, so don’t rule dancing out. 28 Eustace St, Dublin 2, +353 1 671 5135 farringtonshoteltemplebar.com

THE PHOENIX PARK in Dublin is one of the city’s best-loved free amenities – and it is 350 years old in 2012
The Vikings buried their dead in what is now the Phoenix Park. Around 40 graves – one of which contained a woman buried with a pair of bronze Scandinavian brooches – were discovered together near the Islandbridge/Kilmainham edge. This is the biggest Viking cemetery outside of Scandinavia.
The Phoenix Park covers 1,752 acres (707 hectacres) which makes it one of the largest city parks in Europe but a good deal smaller than South Mountain Park in Phoenix, Arizona which at over 16,000 acres is the largest city park in the US.
