Day 1: Dublin - Fáilte
 

Welcome to Dublin, a city that celebrates it's prose, poetry, play writing, and song writers! Dublin is a resoundingly social place, packed with culture, creativity and craic (fun). You'll see it in the busy pubs, in the rolling nightlife scene, in the music and in the chat. But this ancient gem basks in natural beauty, too. Framed by mountains, centered on the river Liffey and edged by a beautiful bay, the city's streets and alleys are filled with vibrant art and historic buildings, hip cafés and traditional "old man" pubs, as Dubliners call them. Walk the streets and you'll feel the energy of over 1,000 years of history, as echoes of the Vikings mix with buzzing boutiques, cobbled streets reverberate with the sounds of buskers, and 18th century parks play host to festivals, film and food markets.

​

We start our day with a walking tour of Dublin. Hosted by a local Dubliner, this walking tour tells of the lives and works of the city’s most famous authors and residents. We’ll have a break for lunch before heading to the Museum of Literature. Immerse yourself in the sounds of Irish storytelling across the centuries, trace the footsteps of James Joyce’s Dublin, and encounter rare gems from the National Library of Ireland, including copy number 1 of Ulysses. Enjoy free time in Dublin before meeting up for a group dinner. After dinner there is an option to attend a local comedy club.
