Iconic venues and tourist attractions shut down in Dublin amid Coronavirus (Photos)

As we walk around a very quiet Dublin on the first Monday of the Coronavirus lockdown one day before St.Patrick's Day, we pass by iconic venues like 3Arena, Whelan’s, Vicar St, The Olympia Theatre, Button Factory and The Grand Social with posters announcing they’re shut down for a few weeks. The same goes for tourist spots like Trinity College and St. Patricks Cathedral; pubs like Temple Bar, The Cobblestone, Woolshed and The Chancery Inn; restaurants like Shanahan’s On The Green; and Grafton Street popular shops like Disney Store.
