Greater Dublin sprawls around Dublin Bay, to the north Howth and to the south Dún Laoghaire/Dalkey. The city cen­tre is within the boundaries of the Royal Canal, to the north, and the Grand Canal, to the south. It is split in two by the River Liffey, which traditionally marks a psychological and social break between the affluent south side and the poorer north side. 

South of the river, over O'Connell Bridge, is the Dublin 2 (D2) area with Trinity College campus, pedestrianised Grafton Street the main shopping area, St Stephen's Green Park and many of the top end hotels and restaurants. Moving south to Dublin (D4) which includes Ballsbridge, Belfield, Donnybrook, Irishtown, Merrion, Pembroke, Ringsend and Sandymount and contains the RDS grounds, Aviva Stadium and many embassies and is considered the city's wealthiest postcode. On this route you head south to the seaside town of Dún Laoghaire and onwards to Wicklow Mountains. 

North of the Liffey is O'Connell St, Henry St with major shopping thor­oughfares and it becomes slightly run­down. The main bus station, Busaras, and the train station, Connolly Station, are on this side of the city. Dublin 3 (D3) includes areas such as Ballybough, North Strand, Clonliffe, Clontarf, Dollymount, East Wall (including East Point), Fairview, most of Killester, and Marino.  Moving north you will find Croke Park Stadium, Dublin City University and Dublin Airport, and to the north east, the seaside towns of Howth, Portmarnock and Malahide (medieval Malahide Castle).

West of Dublin City Centre (D8) where Loaf at Kilmainham is located you will find Heuston Train Station, Irish Museum of Modern Art, St Patrick’s University Hospital, Dolphin's Barn, Inchicore, Islandbridge, Kilmainham, Merchants Quay, Portobello, South Circular Road, the Phoenix Park, Dublin Zoo, Guinness Gate Brewery and the Liberties.
