Self Guided Tour of Dublin’s Breweries and Back Alleys
Overview
On this self-guided audio tour, you'll meet the colourful characters and underdogs that shaped Dublin's medieval core.
The Liberties has been home to some of the most important people and events in Irish history, yet the centuries-old neighbourhood often gets overlooked by visitors. On this walking tour, Jack Redmond, a Dublin-born tour guide, will show you the city’s medieval heart and share stories about its tight-knit community.
Start your journey towards the Obelisk Fountain, where Dublin's rich history will unfold before you. Explore the city's medieval ruins and the historic Coombe, once bustling with Huguenot weavers. Encounter sites of Irish rebel history and colourful characters like Johnny 40 Coats. Pause in Peace Park, atop a medieval graveyard, before delving into Dublin's whiskey origins and Arthur Guinness's remarkable brewery lease. Pass by Marsh's Library, Ireland's oldest, guarding its treasures with reading cages against thievery.
