Itinerary

1. Visting the campus. If you want to visit the Old Library and Book of Kells, please book our 5hr tour ‘(Nearly!) All of Dublin in 5 hours’. Access to the campus is limited to groups of 8 or fewer unless tickets for the Old Library are purchased in advance (these are Trinity’s rules). (15 min)
2. Although on this tour we will only visit more offbeat traditional pubs, we will pass by Temple bar – the heart or Dublin’s nightlife. Stroll the cobbled streets of the famous Temple Bar area. Your guide will show you the real local spots (street art, bohemian shops) and hidden gems of what is a overty touristy area. (15 min)

Take look up the river towards the Guinness Brewery (maybe you’ll detect the aroma of hops boiling) or down the river towards the Custom House and the modern Docklands area.
