Hunts in Dublin

Hidden Dublin & Canals

~105 min · 7 stops

Slip away from the crowds into Dublin's secret garden, leafy Grand Canal and elegant Georgian squares — from the Iveagh Gardens and literary Newman House to poet Patrick Kavanagh's canal bench and Merrion Square's famous doors.

First stops

Iveagh Gardens — Begin in the Iveagh Gardens, Dublin's 'Secret Garden' — a hidden Victorian park with a rustic grotto, a cascade waterfall, fountains and a maze, tucked behind St Stephen's Green and known mostly to locals.
Museum of Literature Ireland — The Museum of Literature Ireland sits in Georgian Newman House, where James Joyce once studied. It holds 'Copy No. 1' of the first edition of his most famous novel.
Portobello Bridge Dublin — Cross the leafy Grand Canal at Portobello, a charming, villagey corner of Georgian houses, canal-side benches and swans. Locals stroll the towpath here on sunny evenings.

Dublin Highlights

~90 min · 6 stops

Walk the heart of Dublin, from Trinity College and the Book of Kells to Dublin Castle, medieval Christ Church and lively Temple Bar, ending on the elegant Ha'penny Bridge.

First stops

Trinity College Dublin — Begin at Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. Its Old Library holds the Long Room and the Book of Kells, a dazzling 9th-century illuminated gospel.
Molly Malone Statue — Meet Molly Malone, the fishmonger immortalised in the song that bears her name, Dublin's unofficial anthem. Her bronze statue is one of the city's most-photographed landmarks.
Dublin Castle — For 700 years Dublin Castle was the seat of British rule in Ireland, until it was handed to Michael Collins in 1922. Its courtyards blend a medieval tower with grand Georgian state apartments.

Literary Dublin

~90 min · 6 stops

Trace Dublin's UNESCO City of Literature through Oscar Wilde, the footsteps of Joyce's 'Ulysses' at Sweny's and Davy Byrnes, Trinity's Long Room and ancient Marsh's Library, ending at a riverside bookshop.

First stops

Oscar Wilde Memorial Sculpture Merrion Square — Begin in Merrion Square, where a reclining, colourful statue of Oscar Wilde lounges on a boulder, gazing at the Georgian house where he grew up. Wilde was famed for his wit and plays like 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.
Sweny's Pharmacy — Sweny's Pharmacy has barely changed since 1853 and features in James Joyce's 'Ulysses', where Leopold Bloom buys a scented bar of soap. It still sells that same soap to literary pilgrims today.
Trinity College Dublin — Trinity College's Old Library holds the Long Room, a breathtaking 65-metre barrel-vaulted hall lined with 200,000 ancient books — and the medieval Book of Kells.

Pubs & Trad Music

~90 min · 6 stops

Crawl through Dublin's pub heritage, from the iconic Temple Bar and writers' Palace Bar to the Victorian Stag's Head, ancient Brazen Head, the trad sessions of The Cobblestone and the old Jameson Distillery.

First stops

The Temple Bar pub — Start in the heart of Temple Bar at its namesake pub, founded in 1840 and home to Ireland's largest whiskey collection. Its flower-decked red walls are Dublin's most photographed spot.
The Palace Bar Fleet Street — The Palace Bar on Fleet Street is a Victorian gem from 1823, long the haunt of Dublin's writers and the newspaper staff from the nearby Irish Times — including Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O'Brien. Its back snug is lined with literary portraits.
The Stag's Head Dame Court — Down a hidden alley sits The Stag's Head, a perfectly preserved Victorian pub from 1895 with stained glass, granite and a mounted stag's head over the bar. A mosaic stag is even set into the pavement on Dame Street pointing the way.
