An overview of Dublin and its wonders

Walking Tours are a great way to learn about the history of a city, get out and explore, and meet people who live there. There are many different types of walks, including foodie walks, art walks, and architecture walks. Withholding such importance, walking tours have many benefits for the body and tourism.


Dublin, being a compact city, has a lesser surface area but many wonders that depict the history of this city and Ireland's struggles and battles. Group walking tours Dublin have been in fashion for a long time now through which guides carry out walks and also narrate the essential points and history of the places and the details that are known just to them.


About Dublin


The city of Dublin is Ireland's capital city and its largest urban area. Its proximity to Great Britain is reflected in Irish culture - especially in the language and cuisine.

The city is split into the modern city center and the historic docklands.


The wonders of Dublin


  1. Dublin Castle

Dublin castle was initially built in 1172 by Strongbow. In 1541 Henry VIII took over and started to create what we have today. After the English Civil War ended in 1660, the Irish Parliament decided to rebuild the castle. However, they were not allowed to use bricks, stones, or mortar but instead had to use wood. Dublin Castle houses government offices, museums, art galleries, and a prison today.


  1. St. Patrick's Cathedral

St. Patrick's cathedral is located on O'Connell Street and was built between 1190-1250. It is the oldest church building in Dublin and is considered the finest example of Gothic architecture in Europe. Inside, you can visit the crypt where St. Patrick's remains lie. His tomb is covered with gold leaf and silver plate.


  1. Christ Church Cathedral

Christ Church Cathedral is located on Dame Lane and was built between 1420-1442. It is the largest gothic cathedral in Ireland and is still being expanded. The tower is 130 feet tall and holds many bells, including the largest bell in the world called Big Ben.


  1. Guinness Storehouse

Guinness storehouse is located at St. James Gate Brewery and opened in 2016. It is a museum, retail space, and restaurant all rolled into one.

Ha'penny Bridge

Ha'penny bridge is located in the middle of Dublin city and connects the northside with the southside. It is named after the British coin called a ha'penny.
