Dublin: Irish history through the pub!
The pub is much more than just a place to enjoy a good pint. On this tour, you'll discover why it holds such an important place in Irish culture and how it has been, for centuries, the heart of the country's social life.
A guided walking tour where the history of Ireland is told through its pubs. We'll visit places linked to different aspects of Irish culture: we'll explore one of the best pubs to discover Irish whiskey and learn how this drink became a national symbol; we'll discuss the origins of the famous Irish coffee and the history behind one of the country's most well-known beverages; we'll discover pubs with live traditional music; and we'll also find quieter spots that retain the welcoming atmosphere that made Irish pubs famous worldwide.
Throughout the tour we will explore the influence of the Vikings on the founding of Dublin, the Celtic roots of festivities such as Halloween, the struggle for Irish independence and the role that pubs played as meeting places to discuss ideas, share stories and keep local traditions alive.
More than just a pub crawl, this experience is a journey through the history, legends, and identity of Ireland. It's an opportunity to discover Dublin like a local, combining culture, curiosities, traditions, and some of the city's most iconic pubs.
