The route for the St Patrick's Day parade has been revealed but where can you get the best views?

The parade will begin at noon and continue around the city for two hours until approximately 2pm.

The parade will be starting on Parnell Square before making its way through O Connell Street and heading over to the south side of the city.

The parade will then work its way down Westmoreland Street and through Dame Street up to Lord Edward Street opposite Christchurch Cathedral.

It'll then head to Nicholl Street and pass St. Patrick's cathedral before finishing up on Kevin Street.

There are a few prime spots that if you are looking for a spectacular view of the parade you will want to nab.

The statue of Daniel O'Connell at the bottom of O'Connell Street is one of the best viewpoints right in the centre of the parade route.

You should be willing to stand for a few hours to get this prime spot but if you are there early enough you should be able to perch on one of the higher levels to get a good view of the festivities.

If you're looking for a pub with great views of the parade then pay a visit to The Lord Edward for a more relaxed vibe.

The second floor of the Lord Ed is a bit of a hidden gem in Dublin and has fantastic views of Christchurch Cathedral and therefore the parade route.
