StreetSmart Dublin includes a stunning dimensional detail of Downtown Dublin so you can move gracefully from Dublin Castle to Temple Bar and Trinity College and beyond. Dublin's rise as a tech hub makes it one of the most dynamic cities as Ireland boasts the youngest population in all of Europe. The Celtic Tiger, as Dublin is known, is headquarters for tech giants from Apple to Google, and Twitter to ZooDigital as well as for start-ups which have transformed the old Grand Canal Docks into the new Silicon Docks. Citibank's annual list of most competitive cities in the world ranked Dublin as the city with the best "human capital."

Historically, the city is cleft in half by the river Liffey. While the northern part has housed the working classes the southern part has been the domain of bankers. The tech boom has blurred these lines to create riches for all. On the south side you will visit Temple Bar with its profusion of pubs, shops, and restaurants. Trinity College presides over Grafton Street the city's fanciest shopping venue. On the North side stop by the Writers Museum & Irish Writers Centre to luxuriate in the poetic aspects of Irish culture. For weekend getaways use the Metro Dublin map to discover castles & cairns in the Greater Dublin area.

StreetSmart Dublin Simplicity reigns supreme in information design to make complex cities clear and understandable. Our typography creates character and reveals the true bones of the city. VanDam uses a letter grid to identify locations on maps - no confusing and cluttering K-28 or V-34s - its just the city from A-Z. Our covers map the icons of each city and turn them into collectible graphic art. Each sleek and laminated city map package opens to 32" x 9" and then easily folds down to 4" x 9" to snuggly fit into a shirt pocket or purse.
