Itinerary

Dublin is a city of many layers, and the City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour lets you uncover its character at your own pace. As you travel through the modern capital, you’ll encounter stories etched into medieval walls, elegant Georgian streets, and landmarks shaped by revolution, hardship, and renewal. Along the route, you can hop off to explore the Writers Museum and celebrate Dublin’s literary legacy as a UNESCO City of Literature, home to icons like Joyce, Wilde, Stoker, Shaw, and Beckett. Art lovers can dive into contemporary creativity at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, where thought‑provoking works from renowned international artists await.

History unfolds further as you visit Kilmainham Gaol, once home to Ireland’s most significant political and military figures, and the Jeanie Johnston, a replica famine ship that tells the story of Irish emigration. The National Museum of Ireland offers even deeper insight into the events that shaped the city’s identity. For added experiences, the 48‑ and 72‑hour tickets include entry to the Irish Whiskey Museum or the World of Illusion, blending cultural discovery with a touch of fun.

Dublin isn’t just about history and culture—there’s plenty of fun waiting along the route too. After exploring the city’s museums, landmarks, and literary heritage, you can hop off at vibrant stops like the Guinness Storehouse, the Irish Whiskey Museum, and Teelings Distillery, where you’ll learn the stories behind Ireland’s most iconic drinks. Temple Bar adds even more energy to your day with its friendly pubs, lively atmosphere, and great food options. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a pint of the famous “black stuff” before continuing your journey to more of Dublin’s top attractions.

For an even richer experience, the 72‑hour ticket unlocks additional activities that let you see Dublin from new perspectives. You can explore the city’s charming streets on a guided Sightseeing Bike Tour or join the evening live guided tour for a deeper look at Dublin’s character after dark. Every ticket also includes a free walking tour, offering an engaging way to discover the city’s stories, architecture, and hidden gems on foot.

Walking Tour
The walking tour adds an enriching on‑foot experience to your Dublin visit, beginning at The Spire on O’Connell Street and lasting around three hours as you explore key landmarks, stories, and hidden corners of the city with a knowledgeable guide. Once you receive your travel ticket, you can simply scan the QR code printed on it to reserve your place on the tour at no extra cost, giving you complimentary access and saving the usual €3 booking fee offered to City Sightseeing customers.
