The City: Walks To See The Best Of Dublin City
Founded By Vikings
Dublin is a Viking city founded in 988. Vikings were good at trade, bad at laying out cities. Today Dublin is still a tangle of winding streets that confuse tourists.
My solution is walking routes that follow one main street each. Think of them like a walking subway system. Follow one street and don't worry about getting lost again. These routes will show you the best of Dublin City. Each is about 2 hours walk.

The Dame Street Route
The perfect way to see Dublin's greatest hits in one go. This route takes you from Trinity College to the Guinness Storehouse, hitting Dublin's heavyweight attractions like the Book of Kells, Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, and Christ Church Cathedral along the way.
If you can only do one walk, this will show you essential Dublin.

The Grafton Street Route
While the Dame Street route is filled with the most popular tourist attractions, the Grafton Street route is where Dubliners go. This is where the city itself is the attraction. More locals than tourists.
You'll meet Molly Malone (aka "The Tart With The Cart"), browse independent shops, eat at the fabulous Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, see our best parks, the nightlife area where we go and end at the Grand Canal.
If you want to see where locals shop, eat, drink, and hang out, this is your walk.

If you walk just these two routes, you'll see more of Dublin than most visitors! I'm working on the other routes right now, check back soon!
