This two-hour walking tour explores Dublin’s darker history, starting in the famous Temple Bar area. The group meets there before heading through medieval streets and lesser-known alleys that reveal the city’s eerie past. The guide covers stories about Bram Stoker and his links to Dracula, medieval crime and punishment, grave robbing, and Irish myths like the banshee. The tour visits several key sites including Dublin Castle, once the seat of imperial power and a workplace of Bram Stoker. It also stops at the 3Olympia Theatre, a Victorian music hall, and Smock Alley Theatre, Ireland’s oldest theatre dating from 1662. At Christ Church Cathedral, the guide discusses the notorious old district called "Hell," once full of brothels and pubs, and the ghosts said to haunt the area. Other stops include Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, where stories about hauntings at Marsh’s Library and the Liberties district are shared. The tour also passes the ruins of an old church graveyard at St Kevins Park, the Royal College of Surgeons - known for its role in the 1916 Easter Rising - and concludes at St Stephens Green, a well-known Georgian park. The tour is led by a nationally accredited guide and does not include snacks.
