Dublin is over 1,000 years old and was originally a Viking settlement.

One of the easiest ways to start exploring Dublin is by taking the ‘Hop on hop off’ bus tour around the city to enjoy the scenery while familiarising yourself with important landmarks and highlights that you can visit as part of a walking tour. One of our team members can organise tickets for you and you can start this journey outside our bar on Westmoreland street.

Dublin also offers many organised walking tours and some of them are even free with meeting points at O’Connell street or by the City Hall.
