Overview
Step back into the Golden Age of Georgian Dublin!
Unlike the bustle of the city's more fast-paced tours, this is a relaxed and unhurried experience, a chance to slow down and explore Dublin at a gentler pace.
This free walking tour weaves together architecture, rebellion, literature, and social history to bring 18th and 19th-century Dublin vividly to life. Stroll through St. Stephen's Green, once a place of public execution and a 1916 battleground, and stand outside the legendary Shelbourne Hotel, where the Irish constitution was drafted. Hear the stories of rebels like Wolfe Tone and Joseph Plunkett, and discover the Dublin of Oscar Wilde amid the elegant terraces of Merrion Square.
Learn the hidden stories behind the Magdalene Laundries, admire the iconic Pepper Canister Church, and understand how the Act of Union brought a glittering architectural era to a sudden close. Finish along the grand embassy terraces of Fitzwilliam Street and the literary haunts of Baggot Street.
Leave the crowds behind and discover a quieter side of one of Europe's most storied capitals.
