Since it first opened in May 2024, The Dublin Portal has quickly captured the imaginations of visitors to Dublin and locals alike. The Dublin Portal, a unique public art installation offers a real-time window into other cities. Initially the connection was with New York City’s Flatiron South Public Plaza, before shifting to the new location in Philadelphia’s JFK Plaza Love Park in October 2024.

The Dublin Portal is open from 11am to 9pm daily.  Located just a short stroll to North Earl Street (5-6 minutes) from the Castle Hotel, the Dublin Portal beams live footage of the iconic GPO and the Spire, allowing Dubliners and visitors to virtually connect with the hustle and bustle of cities around the world. Not only is there a connection with USA but every 3 minutes the livestream alternates between Vilnius in Lithuania and Lublin in Poland.  This is a must do in Dublin.

The overwhelming majority of visitors have embraced this innovative concept, using the portal to connect with the sights and energy of another vibrant city. Please note that the opening hours are subject to change.
