Highlights

Welcome to Medieval Dublin! We will trace along the line of the former Medieval Walls looking for ancient artefacts and fragments of old buildings hidden in the alleys. Let's decode old street names and learn how life looked like in Medieval time. I will show you the signs that remind modern citizens of the city’s past. Ancient towers and gates, a prison and a church, the story of Dublin fires and wars. You will feel the rhythm of Dublin of the 13th century, feel the size of the medieval city, surrounded by high walls, and hear the stories about the Vikings and the British who influenced the capital of Ireland.

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.
