Dublin Discovered Boat Tours is a fun way to see Dublin from the River Liffey. The tour starts at the Sean O'Casey Footbridge on the north side of the river (opposite the CHQ Building). It goes from here all the way to Grattan Bridge (which is the bridge that the apartment overlooks), and then back to the Thomas Clark Bridge on the periphery of Dublin Port. So you get to see the old city and the more modern docklands. During the cruise, you'll get a close-up view of the Ha'penny Bridge, O'Connell Bridge, the Custom House and the Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship. The entire trip takes around 45 minutes.
