Harcourt Street is a vibrant and historic street located in Dublin’s city centre, known for its diverse architecture, cultural attractions, and lively atmosphere. But it’s not just about history! Harcourt Street is also famous for its buzzing nightlife, with popular nightclubs like Copper Face Jacks and Tripod drawing crowds, especially on weekends. This adds to the energetic atmosphere of the street, particularly in the evenings.
The street is also home to a significant landmark in Dublin’s transport network: the Harcourt Street Luas stop.
The Tram Stop
The Harcourt Street Luas stop is situated directly in front of the former Harcourt Street railway station, a grand Victorian building that once served as the terminus for the Dublin to Bray railway line. The station, which opened in 1859 and closed in 1958, has been repurposed and now houses a variety of commercial and residential spaces.
The Luas stop itself is a modern addition to the street, having opened in 2004 as part of the Green Line. It features an island platform, a rarity for Luas stops, which is flanked by tracks running in lanes reserved for trams. Road traffic must travel on the western side of the street.
The stop is a major transportation hub for the area, connecting passengers to various destinations along the Green Line, including Broombridge, Parnell, and Sandyford. It also provides easy access to other modes of transport, such as Dublin Bus and the Dublinbikes bike-sharing scheme – you’ll find a Dublinbikes docking station on nearby Clonmel Street.
