The 16th-century Spanish Arch stands proudly overlooking the bay while artisans display handcrafted Celtic jewelry and Aran sweaters in colorful shopfronts. Street performers create a lively soundtrack as you wander through this pedestrianized historic district. Traditional pubs serve hearty Irish stews alongside fresh oysters and creamy Guinness until late. The neighborhood is entirely walkable, though cobblestones can be challenging for some visitors.
