On our second day in Ireland we will have a Guided Walking Tour (10€ each) through Dublin starting in the morning at 10:30 am in front of the hostel. We will see Temple Bar, the Riverfront, the former Viking Medieval Quarter, Dublin Castle, City Hall and Trinity College for example. This should be a chance to get to know more about the capital of Ireland.

Also the aspect “Explore Dublin” in the afternoon could help us to learn even more about the culture and the life in this country. For example we could visit the Cows Lane Fashion and Design market and explore especially the city district “Temple Bar” again on our own, where we will stay for that week.

In the evening there will be the opportunity to have a dinner in a pub of our own choice.

After that, around 07.30pm, finally some of us will watch the play “The Picture of Dorian Gray” in the theater. The price will be 15 – 18€ per person.

The trip to the mountains takes place on Sunday 30 September.

After breakfast we will meet at 7.45 am at the Gogarty’s.

At 8.00 am we want to walk (300meters) to our pickup location, the tourist information centre.

The info centre is a church (St Andrews Church, Suffolk St 3), where we get on a white bus, which is labeled with “DAY TOURS UNPLUGGED”.

During the trip we’ll have a look at the Trim Castle.

In addition, it is planned to make a stop in a small village for lunch.

But we recommend making lunch packets for ourselves.
