The main Dublin Tourism center is in the former (and still spectacular) St. Andrew's Church on Suffolk Street and is open July-September, Monday-Saturday 8:30-6, Sunday 11-5:30, and October-June, daily 9-6. On-site are many service counters, souvenir stands, and even an sandwich bar. The Dublin Airport branch is open daily 8 AM-10 PM; the branch at the Ferryport, Dun Laoghaire, is open daily 10-9.

The Temple Bar Information Centre produces the easy-to-use, annually updated Temple Bar Guide, which provides complete listings of the area's stores, pubs, restaurants, clubs, galleries, and other cultural venues.
