Ireland · STREET ART
Good street art tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join a local guide such as Liam, Peadar, Conor, Owen, or Eoin for a 1 to 2 hour walk through Dublin’s street art scene. Starting near the Grand Social Bar and ending by Olympia Theatre, you’ll see more than a dozen works, hear the stories behind them, and connect art with Irish history and political activism.
“Owen Is a great guide . He does it with passion. He made the walk alive fun and very interesting. It was real fun”
Join Alternative Dublin for a two-hour English-language walk through Dublin’s street art and graffiti scene. Guides, including artist Liam, explain murals, paste-ups, stickers, and local art culture while leading you to more than 30 works, lesser-known corners, and a small city-centre gallery. Expect about two hours on foot, rain or shine.
Start at 57 Smithfield with a private guide such as Paula, then follow Dublin’s murals and stories to St. Michan’s Church, the Four Courts, and Temple Bar. Expect a flexible three-hour walk, public transport if needed, and commentary in English, French, Spanish, or Italian.
“We enjoyed our tour with Paula. Her stories about Dublin, the history and more modern day influences were both entertaining and informative.”
Pick a coastline, a castle or a counter.
