Höjdpunkter

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 är Irlands vänliga, litterära huvudstad vid floden Liffey, en stad av georgianska torg, historiska pubar, livemusik och en gåva för berättande.

Trinity College rymmer den illuminerade Book of Kells och det höga biblioteket Long Room, medan Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral och St Patrick's Cathedral följer stadens medeltida och koloniala förflutna. Georgianska torg som Merrion Square, med sina klarfärgade dörrar, och den gröna ytan St Stephen's Green ger elegant lugn.

Top-ranked sights in Dublin: Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Trinity College Dublin.
