Full description
Walking tour exploring Dublin's love stories and the city's surprising connection to St Valentine.
This walking tour explores the mythological, legendary and historical love stories that have shaped Dublin over the centuries, even in times of war, plague and poverty. A central feature of the tour is the city's surprising connection to St Valentine, whose remains are kept in a local church.
The route passes St Stephen's Green and its Emmet and Joyce statues, Whitefriar Street Church and its St Valentine shrine, St Patrick's Cathedral and Marsh's Library, Dublin Castle, Isolde's Tower and the so-called "Love Lane", ending at The Church Cafe/Bar, where participants can enjoy a special drinks offer.
As the tour runs in small groups, the experience stays personal and allows the guide to share little-known love stories and anecdotes about the city.
