ABOUT THE Xmas Special – Dublin Highlights Free Walking Tour

Strolling through Dublin's vibrant streets, you’ll visit some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, each with a story as colorful as the people you’ll meet. Starting at The Spire on O'Connell Street, our knowledgeable guides will lead you through the highlights of Dublin, sharing fascinating tales about its past, from Viking raids to Norman conquests and centuries of British rule.

 

This Dublin Highlights Tour promises a deep dive into the heart and soul of the Irish capital, and starts at the Spire (The Big Needle) on O'Connell St.

Please note this tour is only available from Dec 23rd and Dec 29th, 2024.

 

Discover Dublin’s cultural and historical treasures, from Trinity College to Temple Bar.

As Ireland’s oldest university, Trinity College is home to the world-famous Book of Kells (additional ticket required), a must-see medieval manuscript. Wander through the lively Temple Bar district, where the spirit of Dublin comes alive in every pub, with traditional Irish music and endless tales of local legends. Explore Dublin Castle, the former seat of British power for over 700 years, and visit the serene Dubh Linn Garden, once the city’s original “dark pool” from which Dublin takes its name.

 

No Dublin tour is complete without its majestic cathedrals.

From the Viking-built Christchurch Cathedral to the iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral, you’ll step into Ireland’s spiritual past, marveling at grand medieval architecture and hearing stories of Irish patron saints and influential families like the Guinness dynasty. Look for the yellow umbrella, join our expert guide, and get ready to uncover the magic of Dublin’s city center!
