Activity itinerary

Merchants Arch Bar and Restaurant

  • 5m
Discover how this narrow passage once linked Dublin’s bustling market streets to the River Liffey, and how it transformed from a traders’ gateway into today’s lively hub of pubs and culture.

The Temple Bar

  • 5m
Step into Dublin’s most famous district and hear how Temple Bar transformed from a once rough, “hellish” quarter into the buzzing cultural hub it is today. Packed with pubs, music, and legends, it’s the perfect mix of history, nightlife, and local colour.

Christ Church Cathedral

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
Discover Dublin’s oldest building, Christ Church Cathedral, founded nearly a thousand years ago. From Viking beginnings to medieval grandeur, it’s a place of kings, knights, and hidden treasures that shaped the city’s spiritual and political heart.

City Hall

  • 5m
Step inside Dublin City Hall, once the city’s political hub and now a stunning example of 18th-century architecture. Admire the grand Rotunda, its domed ceiling, and statues that tell stories of Ireland’s past, all in a space that’s free to enter and steeped in history.

House of Read

  • 5m
Discover Dublin’s oldest shop, founded in 1690 by a swordsmith and later famed for its fine knives and dueling swords. Once serving everyone from commoners to surgeons, it now survives as a rare piece of living history tucked into the heart of Temple Bar.

Dublin Castle

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
Step into 800 years of power and politics at Dublin Castle, once the seat of British rule in Ireland. From medieval fortress to Georgian palace, it has hosted rebels, royals and presidents, and remains one of the city’s most important landmarks.

The Bank Bar/pub

  • 5m
Once a grand Victorian bank at the heart of Dublin’s financial district, this building is now a pub with a spectacular interior. Its soaring ceilings, stained glass and carved wood make it one of the most atmospheric spots to enjoy food or a drink in the city.
