The Grand Canal Quarter Walking Tour


Give us 45 minutes and we’ll give you Dublin

The Grand Canal Dock is a historical, cultural and attractive destination for the visitor. It is easily accessible for millions of tourists to Dublin. For many years it has been under promoted as a unique destination and this new tour aims to correct this imbalance.

Within the confines of the Grand Canal Quarter you will discover the history of Dublin since the foundation of the city in AD 988. It encapsulates every iconic and momentous event that has shaped our nation from the Vikings arriving from Scandinavia, the landing of Oliver Cromwell, the 1916 Easter Rising to the economic regeneration of a truly wonderful and magnetic tourist destination.

The Grand Canal Dock area is easily accessible for the visitor who enjoys their stay in the capital city. Tourism Ireland expects 10millions visitors to Ireland in 2017 with Dublin City the number one destination.
