The Experience

The Viking & Medieval Tour & Greet the Mummies will start at 37 College Green, at the corner with Grafton Street (outside Tour & Ticket Office, opposite the Main Gate of Trinity College).

The walking tour travels through broad streets and narrow passageways, often following the line of their medieval predecessors. The walking tour will visit City Hall (except Sundays), the courtyards of Dublin Castle, the Castle Gardens & Chester Beatty Library, the Old City & Temple Bar, Fishamble Street (site of the first performance of Messiah by Handel), Christ Church Cathedral and the old City Walls on Cook Street. Along the way it is possible to encounter mementoes of vast archaeological discoveries revealing the Viking and Norman past before passing Dublin’s oldest pub, the Brazen Head, Across the River Liffey, and past the Four Courts on the way to St Michan’s church and a very intriguing visit to the mummies in the church crypt (as seen on the programme Cities of the Underworld on History Channel). There is an option of ending the walking tour with discounted combination entrance to the nearby Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery or to the Guinness Storehouse.
