Self-Guided Dublin Tour

Posted by & filed under Dublin.

Ireland’s capital city, Dublin, is filled with thousands of years of history—and over 750 pubs. Its Irish name, Baile Átha Cliath, means Ford of the Reed Hurdles. It was originally settled by Vikings back in 841, and was once home to many famous writers, including Bram Stoker, James Joyce, and Oscar Wilde.

Soaking in all that information can be difficult, so we’ve developed a self-guided tour of the city that covers all the iconic sites as well as some lesser-known haunts.

Or, check out a guided Dublin walking, biking, Segway, or boat tour. If you’re in Dublin to experience the pub culture, check out our self-guided pub crawl or a guided Dublin pub crawl.
