Itinerary

  1. After seeing a Lenoardo daVinci Dublin connection, pass over the bouncy Millennium Bridge over the River Liffey through the historic West End of Temple Bar and see Ireland’s oldest theatre, Meeting House Square (a cultural gathering point) and the site of where Handel’s ‘Messiah’ was first performed. (35 min)
  2. See and learn the curious stories of the oldest church building still standing in the centre of Dublin (first built in 1030). An internal visit (paid admission) can be made after the tour, if you wish. (10 min)
  3. Visit the main courtyards of the former castle and learn about its chequered history and see the different elements that make up the complex. The tour will finish close by so you can take the internal (paid admission) tour of the castle afterwards (it can be booked online). We will finish with a visit to the Dublin history exhibition in City Hall (currently not open on Sundays). (20 min)
