    Depends what you're looking for I guess! There's lots of interesting side alleys in the city centre but you'd kinda want your wits about you etc. If it's greenery you're after etc - I'd recommend the Dodder, surprising wee strip of countryside in the midst of a city. You can follow the bank pretty much mostly from the where the East Link bridge is, up to Tallaght. The powers that be haven't quite spotted it yet and labelled it a 'Greenway' :) !

    Hmm, storm drains and sewers etc., abandoned factories - edgy stuff! Sounds to me like you should get into caving. All above, if you view chambers and avens as factories and lots more besides, all in a natural wild environment. With possibilities to find new passageways and go where no man has gone before etc :)

    Have to travel a bit though - get outa that big smoke.
