Mummies, Spirits & Hidden City

This tour will bring you to places the visitor to Dublin rarely sees.

First going through Temple Bar the walk crosses the River Liffey, then entering the Italian Quarter to pass a remarkable transformation from a church to a café-bar. Next pass by an underground Chapter House of the medieval St Mary's Abbey before entering into the busy Victorian Fruit & Vegetable Market. Eighteenth century courthouses and the remains of a couple of notorious prisons will be on the way to St Michan's Church, first founded by the Vikings around 1030, and for 600 years the only parish church on the north side of the city.

In the crypt of the church you will 'enjoy' the macabre experience of seeing mummified remains of centuries-old burials, each with their own curious stories The tour ends at the Old Jameson Whiskey Distillery (optional discounted whiskey tour).
