A
1916 Rebellion Walking Tour
The Easter Rising was the seminal event in the struggle to establish a modern nation, and this absolutely superb 1½-hour tour – starting in the International Bar, Wicklow St – tells it exactly as it was, with a decent sprinkling of humour and irreverence to boot. After all, what good are heroes if you can’t poke some fun at them? The guides – all Trinity graduates – are uniformly excellent and will not say no to the offer of a pint back in the International at tour’s end.
