"St. Stephen's Green, an exquisitely manicured park in Dublin City Centre , dates back to a time when open space and fresh air were at a premium: Victorian Ireland, 1880. Today, the green lawns and ponds are surrounded by a thick wall of trees, creating a true respite from urban life inside a neat, perfectly ordered rectangular park. It's a fantastic spot to people watch and get a glimpse of daily life for Dublin locals." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
