City Tour of Dublin

During the tour of Dublin you will see the oldest university in Ireland, Trinity College, which was built in 1592 and is famous for its ancient library that is home to books dating back to the 8th century, such as the Book of Kells amongst others. You will also see key pieces of Celtic monastic life and of Celtic Christianity, like the protestant cathedrals of Christ Church and St. Patrick. The latter commemorates the patron saint of Ireland and also once had Jonathan Swift, the famous author of Gulliver's Travels, acting as the dean. You will also discover why they are Protestants when 95% of Ireland's population is Catholic. We will visit the statue of Molly Malone, the legendary fish merchant. After that we will pass through the most emblematic pedestrian point of the city, Hapenny Bridge or Halfpenny Bridge as it is also known. We will visit neighbourhoods that characterise the prosperous 18th century, with Georgian architecture that includes colourful doors and parks that once upon a time were totally private. We will see the customs house, which sits next to the river and divides the city into two parts, the river Liffey. We pass by the Brazen Head, which is the oldest pub in the city and dates back to 1198. The tour continues with a walk through the most illustrious area of Dublin, which contains the Parliament, as well as the National Gallery, the National Museum, the Natural History Museum and the National Library.
We will see O'Connell Street, which is named after the man known as "The Liberator", Daniel O'Connell. This is the widest street in Dublin and is the historical site where the Easter Rising of 1916 took place, during which the Irish fought against the British. You will also see the Spire, which is the tallest monument in Dublin and is also called the Monument of Light. We'll also visit Phoenix Park where the president's residence is situated, its the largest walled park in Europe with a total of 850 hectares.
