Self-Guided Walking Tours in Ireland

2 free self-guided walking tours, with an audio guide at every stop.

Dublin's centre is small, flat and built for walking, with the Liffey's bridges, the cobbled lanes of Temple Bar and Trinity College all within a short stroll of each other.

Our self-guided walk starts in Temple Bar Square, crosses the Ha'penny Bridge, visits City Hall and George's Street Arcade, and ends at Trinity College, home of the Book of Kells. About 75 minutes and 3.6 km.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.

Every stop is on the walking map before you go, and the audio guide plays by itself when you arrive — free, no app, no booking.
