Slightly scattered throughout the city, as here at the gates of Merrion Square Park, Georgian-style houses are commonplace in Ireland, and even more so in Dublin. Characterized by their sober brick appearance and white windows, these tall 18th-century bourgeois mansions fuel Irish humor enormously.

Whether in winter or summer, St Stephen’s Green has no better season to make itself felt. A grazing area until 1663, this peripheral area began to change the following year, when the government fenced off the 9-hectare parcel to become a park.

An ideal sanctuary for any self-respecting buyer, Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is an absolutely gigantic shopping centre. Built on the site of the former Dandelion Point of Sale, where the U2 group gave its first concerts, this shopping mall opened its doors in 1988, with only 4 out of 78 operational stores, on its first day of activity.

A sublime example of Victorian architecture, with its characteristic red bricks, George’s Street Arcade has been a very popular venue in Dublin since its opening in 1881. Unlike any other site in the city, this kind of Covered Point of Sale, with a shopping mall trend, is the first of its kind to be built in the capital.

A jewel of the city centre, Dublin Castle alone represents an important piece of Dublin’s history. Built in 1204 on a former Viking fort by King John of England, the purpose of this ancient building was to symbolize British rule over Ireland, in other words the Anglo-Norman rule over the Irish people.

St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, as we see it today, was built in place of an ancient place of worship dating back to the fifth century. Irish accounts say that it was here that St. Patrick baptized several of his disciples in a well, gradually leading Ireland to evangelization.

Unavoidable on your way, the Dublinia Museum is the perfect place to discover the medieval history of the city. Very popular with tourists for its pleasant cultural offer, the site benefits from a neo-gothic decor of old that immediately sets the tone.

An emblematic figure of the medieval heritage of the city, Christ Church Cathedral is a monument that has become a must for history lovers. In order to set the scene, we must first know that a first wooden building was erected on the land in 1038 by Sitric Silkenbeard, king of the Viking colony.

O very popular and trendy in Dublin, the Temple Bar area is a must on our tour itinerary. The area was badly known in the 1600s and occupied by artists and traders from 1800 onwards, but it really flourished as early as 1991, with the election of Dublin as European Capital of Culture.

Along the popular River Liffey, Dublin offers us no less than 23 bridges to make us travel from one bank to the other. It is true that this leaves us with a choice, even a little too much... Fortunately, the Ha’penny Bridge is here to save you the day.

Equivalent to the French Champs-Élysées, O’Connell Street is Dublin’s main artery. Moreover, no matter what time you approach it during the day, this shopping and tourist street is often black with people.

Neither crowded nor especially massive, this memorial is a huge part of Dubliners’ lives. Heavily affected by the Great Famine from 1845 to 1849, the Irish people experienced a climate of misery that was arduous, but above all deadly.

Berthed along the city’s north dock, this magnificent three-masted is the Jeanie Johnston. Risking prematurely spoiling your enthusiasm, it is good to warn you that no cruise near this naval figure will be offered to you, but rather a paid educational visit on one of the country’s history pages.

Stoic on the north shore of the Liffey, the Custom House is the city’s most famous neoclassical building. Designed by James Gandon, one of Dublin’s most renowned architects, the building created a colossal construction site, requiring the participation of all available local workers.

More for its façades than for its certainly honourable services, the Bloom Inn is a totally improvised stop on our itinerary. For those who didn’t know it, Dublin is as much inseparable from its Guinness beer as it is from its legends of Irish literature.

What would Dublin be without its prestigious Trinity College? Considered one of the best universities in Europe, and the oldest in the country, this place of education is a real institution.

Lost among passers-by since 1988, this statue from another era is the subject of an urban legend important to the Irish people. While some people would gladly tell his story in song, as the unofficial anthem of the city requires, we opted for a wiser and less lyrical version. Don't blame us!

Much like a film that we would need to watch several times, Dublin reveals its history and its peculiarities in successive touches. There are the obvious things we know about her, even before we meet her, like her pub collection and her beer empire.

Apart from the fact that it was one of the first houses in the area, built in an obviously Georgian style, this house is best known as having belonged to the family of the famous Irish writer, Oscar Wilde.

If Dublin lists a collection of statues bearing the image of personalities who have marked its history, the one before you is particularly successful. Oscar Wilde is as tall in size as he is in the career he has built for himself, and he is a man with a strong attachment to the city.
