Dublin: Highlights Tour with Optional Book of Kells Entry｜Ireland

If you only have a short time in Dublin — or simply want to get your bearings before exploring further — this is the perfect introduction to the Irish capital.

Join an expert local guide for a carefully designed two-hour walking tour connecting many of Dublin’s most famous landmarks, historic neighbourhoods and must-see locations.

Beginning beside magnificent St Patrick’s Cathedral, journey through more than 1,000 years of Dublin history, from Viking and medieval Dublin to British rule, revolution, independence and the vibrant European capital you see today.

See the medieval heart of the city around Christ Church Cathedral before discovering the historic Dublin Castle District, the centre of British administration in Ireland for centuries.

Continue into the colourful cobbled streets of Temple Bar, Dublin’s famous cultural and entertainment quarter. Discover its history, hear about Dublin’s legendary pub and music culture and capture photographs at some of the city’s most recognisable locations.

See the iconic Ha’penny Bridge spanning the River Liffey before continuing towards historic College Green and Trinity College, Ireland’s oldest university and home to the world-famous Book of Kells.

Along the way, meet one of Dublin’s best-known characters at the Molly Malone statue and hear the stories, legends and humour that have helped give Dublin its unique personality.

This is not simply a walk between landmarks. Your guide connects the places you see with the people and events that created Dublin — its Vikings, writers, rebels, musicians and unforgettable characters.

At the end of your guided experience, guests selecting the Book of Kells Upgrade can continue their Dublin journey with admission to the renowned Book of Kells Experience at Trinity College.
