  • Walking Tour

This walking tour takes you through the historic streets of Dublin’s North side to uncover the history of the North Inner City Dublin’s Tenements past. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the architectural shift from majestic Georgian townhouses into overcrowded tenement slums during the 19th and 20th-centuries. We will examine how domestic and foreign political shifts, industrialisation, and social reform movements directly shaped housing conditions and triggered the eventual clearance of Dublin’s tenements. So, whether you’re a local or a visitor, this tour will leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Dublin’s social history and how it informs the lives of those who call Dublin’s North side their home.
