The Dublin Riviera is a guided coastal walk back in time to a golden era where local residents and visitors wined and dined in the yacht clubs, restaurants and hotels along the waterfront, and danced in the Pavilion, the ballrooms and the nightclubs. The walk will provide an insight into the symbiotic relationship between the harbour and the town and how this helped Dún Laoghaire to evolve into an elegant and glamorous centre of hospitality, entertainment and luxurious bathing, a “Dublin Riviera”. The walk is led by Eileen O'Duffy, a local historian and the author of two books, ‘From Dirt and Dips to Dryrobes, bathing in Dun Laoghaire through the ages’ and ‘Champagne, Cocktails and Crêpes Suzette, wining, dining and dancing in Dún Laoghaire through the ages’ 11.30 am Pick and meet up is just a 3-minute walk from the Dún Laoghaire cruise passenger drop-off point at the entrance to Quarterdeck, Harbour Plaza (entrance to Old Ferry Terminal).

About Dublin

Dublin is Ierlands vriendelijke, literaire hoofdstad aan de Liffey, met Georgiaanse pleinen, historische pubs, livemuziek en een talent voor verhalen.

Trinity College bewaart het verluchte Book of Kells en de torenhoge bibliotheek Long Room, terwijl Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral en St Patrick's Cathedral het middeleeuwse en koloniale verleden van de stad schetsen. Georgiaanse pleinen als Merrion Square, met hun felgekleurde deuren, en de groene ruimte van St Stephen's Green zorgen voor elegante rust.
