Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

This tour is 6,7 km and has 35 stories about everything you will pass. Not just dull facts, but real stories, legends in fun facts collected by a local guide.

Not to be confused with the Millennium Bridge in London, the Millennium Bridge in Dublin is the one allowing you access from one side, to the other, crossing the Liffey. The bridge opened in preparation for the new millennium in 2000 and has since then been used by pedestrians. At night, the bridge is illuminated by arches in the colors of the rainbow, making it a beautiful scenery by day and night.

Stop 3 Pass by

How many monuments in one street is too many? O’Connell Street sure isn’t lacking in them. With a total of 6 major monuments on the street, not including the Spire of Light yet, there are enough interesting stories to be discovered in this street. Each monument tells its own story about the history, politics or spirit of Ireland, so keep your eyes and ears open on this street.

Stop 4 Pass by

The oldest university in Ireland, Trinity College Dublin, was founded in the late 16th century and now counts over 21,000 students. The architectural story behind the university tells a rich tale and is a dynamic mixture of tradition and modernity. The Library of Trinity College Dublin consists of several buildings and is home to over six million printed volumes, ranging from rare books, to maps and manuscripts.

What might look like one of Dublin’s lively and bustling pubs, actually is the scene of a darker story one would expect. The current pub is named after the madame of a brothel in the 18th-century, Darkey Kelly. Her story contains a scandalous pregnancy, alleged witchcraft and possibly Ireland’s first serial killer, the madame herself. Despite its dark history, the pub remains open for a local beer and a good time.
