Description
Temple Bar is known for its lively atmosphere, but there’s so much more to discover beyond the pubs and cobblestone streets.
On this hour-long walking tour, we’ll explore Dublin’s most famous district from a fresh perspective, diving into its 1,000-year-old history and hidden stories.
Starting outside the Irish Houses of Parliament, we’ll journey through the streets once lined with Vikings and revolutionaries, uncovering tales of poets, musicians, and politicians who shaped the area.
From hearing how Temple Bar got its name to learning about its near-demolition in the 1970s, this tour is filled with unique insights.
We’ll also visit some of Dublin’s best-known pubs—like the Porterhouse and Foggy Dew—while stopping to admire famous landmarks including the Viking Longboat statue and Christ Church Cathedral.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of Dublin’s iconic Cultural District and plenty of stories to share.

I did 2 in a row. great narration, interesting facts and fun to listen to. also you don‘t have to interact with people, go at your own pace, have breaks, discover left and right. it‘s a fun way to explore. well worth the money! go for it. and be prepared to take two tours at least. this guy is fantastic!
