Dublin Historical Walking Tour Including the Gardens of Dublin Castle

See Dublin’s top sights on this 2-hour historical walking tour. With a local guide, walk by famous landmarks, from Trinity College to Dublin Castle to relics of the city’s Viking past. Stroll around colorful Temple Bar and down Grafton Street, and encounter hidden cobbled alleyways and graceful Georgian mansions. As you walk, your knowledgeable guide will share interesting facts and stories about the attractions you see.

Walk through both the broad streets and narrow passageways of Dublin, admiring the city’s famed historical sights. With your local guide, start your tour in central Dublin. Pass by the former Houses of Parliament and make your way to Trinity College, the oldest university in Ireland. Then walk past Grafton Street, one of Dublin’s major shopping areas, and Powerscourt Townhouse, an 18th-century Georgian mansion that is now an elegant shopping center.

Next, walk by Bewley’s (Dublin’s oldest cafe), city hall and the Chapel Royal before wandering past the courtyards and gardens of Dublin Castle. Then see the Chester Beatty Library, the medieval city walls, the western section of Temple Bar (Dublin’s popular nightlife and culture district), Fishamble Street (the site of the first performance of “Messiah” by George Frederick Handel) and Christ Church Cathedral (first founded by the Vikings).

When your walk ends, continue your Dublin sightseeing on your own by using your included discounted entry to the Guinness Storehouse or Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery. Your tour ticket also includes discounts at The Church (a cafe and bar set inside the former St Mary’s Church) and Bewley’s – head to one of these popular Dublin cafes after your tour if you wish!
