Start your journey in the vibrant Temple Bar district, Dublin’s cultural and nightlife hub.

From Irish whiskey and Guinness to film, literature, and rock ‘n’ roll, this neighborhood is where the spirit of Dublin comes alive.

Follow your guide through the city center as centuries of history unfold around you. Trace the footsteps of Vikings, hear tales of Anglo-Saxon kings, and learn about defining events like the Great Irish Famine. Along the way, admire architectural landmarks including Christ Church Cathedral, the Georgian-style City Hall, and the courtyards and gardens of Dublin Castle – once the seat of British rule in Ireland (external viewing only). Uncover hidden gems like the charming St. Andrew’s Church and the famous Molly Malone Statue, and hear the legend behind one of Ireland’s most beloved folk characters.

The highlight of this tour is a Skip-the-Line entry to the Book of Kells Exhibition in the Old Library at Trinity College, one of the oldest universities in the British Isles. Home to the exquisite Book of Kells, this world-renowned exhibition showcases a 9th-century illuminated manuscript, famed for its vibrant artwork and craftsmanship. Admire this rare gem and explore the Long Room, one of the most breathtaking libraries in the world, filled with centuries-old books and marble busts of great thinkers.
