The 1916 Rebellion Walking Tour in Dublin lasts about two hours and is led by a professional guide. It begins at The International Bar, where participants receive a copy of the 1916 Proclamation and some background literature. The guide starts with an overview of the events leading to the Easter Rising of 1916, beginning with the Irish Famine in the 1840s. The walk then visits key sites of the rebellion, including City Hall, where the Irish Citizen Army was stationed during the Rising, and Dublin Castle, the British administrative center discussed for its role in both the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence. The tour continues by viewing the Four Courts from a nearby bridge over the River Liffey, covering its occupation in 1916 and the Irish Civil War of 1922-23. Other stops include Daniel O'Connell's Memorial, where bullet holes from the Rising are visible, and the Jim Larkin Statue, highlighting his role in the revolutionary period. The tour's most significant stop is the General Post Office (GPO), the headquarters of the Easter Rising, where the Proclamation was read aloud. Time permitting, the group may also visit Moore Street, site of the GPO garrison’s last stand, and the Bank of Ireland, also known as the Old Parliament, along with nearby Trinity College. The route varies to keep the tour engaging, and no prior knowledge of the events is needed. Alcoholic drinks are not included but are available to purchase.
