Medieval

Dublin Castle

Dublin Castle, at the heart of the city, encapsulates over eight centuries of Irish history. Originally built in the 13th century as a defensive fortification, it has evolved into a symbol of Irish sovereignty. Its architecture is a blend of medieval, Norman, and neoclassical styles, reflecting its rich history and continuous adaptation. Today, it serves as a major government complex and tourist attraction, offering insights into Ireland’s past through its state apartments, medieval undercroft, and Norman Tower. The castle also hosts the Chester Beatty Library, with its world-renowned collection of manuscripts and rare books. Dublin Castle is not just a monument but a living museum, offering a window into Ireland’s complex history and cultural evolution, making it a pivotal site for visitors seeking to understand Ireland’s heritage.

We had a lovely day exploring Newgrange and the Hill of Slaine with Noel yesterday. Highly recommend! Noel and Touristy were a pleasure to work with. Especially enjoyed touring the monastery ruins at the Hill of Slain, we had the place all to ourselves."
Blakely Meyers
"Alan Bradley From Touristy Ireland was my tourist guide and taxi driver. Made getting around so much easier to use taxi lanes and parking places. I saw all the highlights and visited so many places in an 8 hour span. Really felt like I got to know and experience Dublin. Alan is extremely knowledgeable about Ireland’s history and the people that formed Ireland. I highly recommend him to be your friendly and knowledgeable Irish Tour Guide!!"

"Touristy is incredible. They worked with us on a tour package that fit our schedule and budget, pairing us with one of their experienced guides, Noel. He helped us navigate a comprehensive and complicated agenda in the city, as well as the western portion of Ireland. Full and unreserved recommendation of Touristy and staff!"
