Join a cycling tour around some of Dublin’s modern treasures, led by the authors of The Dublin Architecture Guide 1937-2021. The tour will focus on modern buildings described in the book, located in the south inner city.

The guided cycling tour will take place in south Dublin City, visiting the outside of a range of modern buildings. Starting at Merrion Square South, some of the buildings to be visited include the new ESB Headquarters, the former Bank of Ireland HQ (Miesian Plaza), The US Embassy, the former Carroll’s headquarters (Two Grand Parade), The Department of Finance, and Stephen Court.

The tour is intended to be interactive, with participants encouraged to share memories, opinions and reflections on buildings, as we endeavour to better understand the architecture around us.

Covering a total of 255 buildings, The Dublin Architecture Guide 1937–2021 is a companion guide to the modern architecture of Dublin, published by Lilliput Press and available to order online or from your local bookshop.

City-centre cycling experience will be necessary for the tour. Please note the tour does not include access to the interiors of the buildings.

This tour takes up to two hours. If participants have other bookings, cyclists can leave the tour early. The entire tour is located within the south inner city

Pre-book only. Bicycles are not provided.

This cycling tour will use the live voice app to ensure all participants can listen to the tour guide clearly. More information will be provided when you book your place on the tour.
