Dublin is a city where mythology and folklore have influenced its history and culture. This two-hour walking tour focuses on Ireland's storytelling tradition and its impact on Dublin's development. The tour begins in the heart of Temple Bar, where participants meet and walk through the area en route to Grattan Bridge. Along the way, the guide shares stories that reveal how myth and legend have shaped the city. Crossing the River Liffey, the tour covers sites on both the north and south sides of the water. At Grattan Bridge, known for its decorative seahorse lamps, the group pauses to discuss the bridge's significance. The tour continues to St. Michan's Church, where the guide explains the church's role in local legends and its crypts, as well as the nearby grounds of the old Newgate Prison and Green Street Courthouse, places connected to lesser-known parts of Dublin's history. Next, the tour stops outside the GPO Museum, a key historical building, to discuss how Irish mythology influenced modern Irish history. The final stop is at the Garden of Remembrance by Parnell Square, next to Oisin Kelly's 'Children Of Sir' statue, where the tour concludes. This guided walking tour highlights Dublin’s mythology and folklore through its historic landmarks.
