Unusual Dublin: Alternative Tour of the Irish Capital

Dublin continues to exert a great charm, with its atmosphere of a quiet yet very extensive city.
Not only that: the social and cultural scene is quite lively, offering even the “hit-and-run tourist” always pleasant days.

For those who have already been to Dublin in the past and have probably already visited the classic tourist guide attractions, here are some tips for organizing alternative tours of Dublin.

One might think, for example, of a literary tour called the “Literary Pub Crawl” departing from The Duke Pub, on Duke Street (off Grafton Street), in the Dublin 2 area, right in the city center.

From here, you will head towards Trinity College, cross the square, and begin to encounter other historic pubs, alleyway by alleyway. Interspersed with the route explained by a guide, there are quotes from Joyce, Behan, Beckett, and Yeats. Reservations can also be made directly through the Pub’s website, where more details are highlighted.

Also to consider are the “Le Cool Experience“: walking tours of Dublin that are absolutely customizable based on your interests and tastes, so you can discover — for example — the best studios for getting a tattoo in Dublin or be right in the middle of a vernissage at an art gallery, hunting for emerging artists.

For fans of the “Dr. House” and “E.R.” genre — so to speak — here is a special proposal from Ingenious Ireland: a visit to the ancient leper hospital of Dublin and the city’s first hospital.
For a deeper dive into the sciences, another place to mention is Earthquakes & Elephants, dedicated precisely to great Irish personalities in the scientific field.

So many faces of this incredible city, all to be savored and fully experienced.
