Did the Irish invent Christmas? Not quite—but it's not entirely a myth either! Soak up the festive atmosphere amid twinkling lights, beautifully decorated shop windows, public cribs, and a few modest street markets on this engaging walking tour. Discover St Nicholas's surprising Irish connections too.
The tour ends in the most unusual of Christmas venues—a former historic church, now an iconic cafe/bar—where you can enjoy a festive drink (two for one, our Christmas gift to you). With Dublin's northerly latitude, darkness falls from 3:30pm in December, and that's when the city's magic truly begins.
