Things to Do in Phibsborough, Dublin

Dublin's red-brick northside village, centered on a busy crossroads above the Royal Canal. Dalymount Park carries the city's football history, the Blessington Street Basin hides a quiet former reservoir, and independent pubs, bakeries, and the restored Phibsboro shopping-center tower give the neighborhood a character both scruffy and self-assured.
