Highlights
Experience Dublin at its most magical. As dusk falls and the city begins to sparkle, discover Dublin dressed in its festive best. Timed to coincide with the evening illuminations, we'll watch historic buildings come alive with spectacular light projections while wandering through streets filled with Christmas lights, music and festive cheer. Along the way, discover beloved Irish Christmas traditions—from the excitement of the Late Late Toy Show to the bustling atmosphere of Moore Street's famous Christmas market. Admire the beautifully decorated department store windows, hear stories of Christmases past, and experience the warmth of Dublin during its most enchanting season. The evening concludes with a cosy cheese and wine reception, accompanied by a traditional Irish mince pie in one of our favourite independent cafés—the perfect ending to a winter's evening in Dublin.

Itinerary
Welcome to Dublin Winter Walks! Tonight we’ll step into the festive spirit of Dublin — twinkling lights, seasonal traditions, and a warm treat to finish.
For Dubliners, Henry Street is where Christmas really begins
Many couples cross here at Christmas for a first kiss under the lights — it’s Dublin’s own mistletoe moment
Fun Fact: Guinness used to gift every employee a Christmas turkey up until the 1980s.
Buskers (street performers) make Grafton magical at Christmas. Picture Bono or Glen Hansard singing here on Christmas Eve. Festive Note: In Ireland, it’s common to visit the pub with friends on Christmas Eve (the famous “12 Pubs of Christmas” pub crawl tradition).
From the candle in the window, to the music in the streets, to the lights above us — Dublin at Christmas is about warmth, welcome, and sharing. Thank you for joining me tonight, and Nollaig Shona Duit — Happy Christmas!

About Dublin
Dublin is Ireland's friendly, literary capital on the River Liffey, a city of Georgian squares, historic pubs, live music and a gift for storytelling.
Trinity College holds the illuminated Book of Kells and the soaring Long Room library, while Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick's Cathedral trace the city's medieval and colonial past. Georgian squares such as Merrion Square, with their brightly painted doors, and the green expanse of St Stephen's Green provide elegant calm.
Top-ranked sights in Dublin: Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Trinity College Dublin.
