Now this may be an obvious choice, but any city that has a river running right through the center of it is way cool in my book. Not only is this river a good source for trade and transportation in Dublin, it’s also a good source of directions for lost tourists like myself. Need to find the Busaras (i.e. the bus station)? Just follow the river. Wanna find the concert venue featuring that Leonard Cohen concert you won’t be able to afford? Just follow the river. Wanna find some tourist—more idiotic than your tourist self—to mug the Leonard Cohen tickets from? Just follow the river.
Wanna find a spot on the Liffey Bridge where you can pout, smoke a cigarette, and think about how that hypothetical idiotic you were going to mug is actually much smarter than you, because s/he has tickets to the Leonard Cohen show and you don’t? Just follow the river. So as you see, the River Liffey has many uses. It also doesn’t take a bad picture.
