Overview

  • Step behind the austere brick facades of Dublin's most elegant era. On this immersive walking tour, you will discover the hidden contradictions of Georgian Dublin—a city built by a wealthy aristocratic elite obsessed with mathematical perfection and rigid urban rules. But look closer, and you'll find a storey of quiet rebellion. From hallucinatory hidden plasterwork to the true origin of the world-famous colourful doors, we will explore how residents fought for personal expression. Join us as we trace the rise, fall, and dramatic rescue of the longest uninterrupted Georgian streetscape in the world.
