Dublin · STREET ART
The good street art tours go early and the great ones go earlier. Below: 3 of them, what each includes, and how they differ once you look past the photographs.
Join a local guide such as Liam, Peadar, Conor, or Eoin for an English-language walk through Temple Bar and Dublin’s side streets. You’ll see more than a dozen works, hear the stories behind them, and finish near Olympia Theatre after about 1 to 2 hours.
“Liam was a lovely guide, made sure we all were able to hear him while getting great photos. He was very knowledgeable, and we quite enjoyed each of the pieces we stopped to see.”
Meet your English-speaking guide beside the Ha’penny Bridge and follow Dublin’s street art trail through Temple Bar and nearby lanes. You’ll see more than 30 murals, graffiti pieces, stickers, and paste-ups, hear the stories behind them, and visit a small city-centre gallery.
Start at 57 Smithfield with a private guide such as Paula, then follow Dublin’s murals, St. Michan’s Church, Four Courts, and Temple Bar. Expect a three-hour walk shaped around your interests, with English, French, Spanish, or Italian guiding available.
“We enjoyed our tour with Paula. Her stories about Dublin, the history and more modern day influences were both entertaining and informative.”
Pick a distillery, a headland or a coach heading west.
