About This Tour

This self-guided audio walking tour is a trip back in time to explore some of Dublin’s most iconic landmarks. We’ll take in some of Georgian Dublin along with city parks, traditional bars, cathedrals and many other famous sites on a stroll across this charm-laden city. You’ll also hear fun facts and tales about its history, culture and people – like rock band U2 and the rebellious Daniel O’Connell as well more ordinary folk.

While we walk you’ll notice how lively Dublin is with some 751 pubs. A lot of them are beautifully decorated, but O’Neill’s opposite the Molly Malone statue is one of the best on our route. The food is excellent too. Dublin also has an abundance of museums. There are 45 in all and most of them are free to visit. Two of the best are the National History Museum and the Little Museum of Dublin. I’ll guide you to both of them, and I highly recommend popping into them either before, after or during our tour.
