Dublin Map Poster: Georgian squares split by the Liffey

Why Dublin works so well as a map poster

Dublin's map is a tale of two banks: the Liffey runs straight through the middle, Georgian squares and terraces spread south past Trinity College and St Stephen's Green, and the older, knottier northside counters with its own markets and theatres.

Add the huge green rectangle of Phoenix Park in the west — twice the size of Central Park — and the crescent of Dublin Bay to the east, and you get a poster with structure, softness and a story.

Best palettes for Dublin

  • Forest — of course — forty shades of green for Ireland's capital.
  • Warm Beige — echoes the Georgian brick and stone of the squares.
  • Midnight Blue — pub-window glow: dark streets, warm lines.

Where to centre the map and which radius to use

Centre on O'Connell Bridge with a 5 km radius: Phoenix Park anchors the west, the bay opens the east, and the Georgian core sits right at the heart. Dublin's low density means every street stays legible even at 60×90 cm.

Which size to print

City maps with lots of fine streets reward size: 30×40 cm is the sweet spot for a desk or hallway, 50×70 cm and 60×90 cm turn the map into a statement piece where individual streets remain legible from across the room. Stick to matte paper so the dark palettes do not reflect. Read the printing and framing guide.
