The Historic Northside of Dublin Walking Tour

Discover places most Dublin visitors rarely see, from the east end of the historic Temple Bar district, the 17th and 18th century docklands area and now Dublin's Left Bank and cultural quarter. Walk over the famous Ha'penny Bridge and along the boardwalk to enjoy the River Liffey. Over 1,000 years ago, Norse longboats sailed over capturing the early Christian village of Dublin. They went on to build what was to become one of the most important trading towns in the Viking world.

After a brief stopover in the Italian Quarter where you can view the contemporary wall-mounted depiction based on Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper you will head to an early 18th century church now successfully converted into a striking pub. Next, you'll pass by the site of the Chapter House of St Mary's Abbey, an underground vestige of the Middle Ages, before taking a shortcut through the Victorian Fruit & Vegetable Market building to the infamous 18th/19th century prison district of Dublin where public hangings were a common occurance.
 
The highlight of this tour is the visit to St Michan's Church. First founded by the Vikings around 1030 it remained the only parish church on the north side of the city for 600 years. The crypt of the church contains the mummified bodies which were buried here many centuries ago. The tour finishes at the Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery where you can make an optional visit or jump on the tram back to the city centre
