The Poetry Stroll: A Dublin Literary Walking Tour, Guided by Song

About this experience

Starting from the iconic Sweny's Pharmacy, this walking tour explores Dublin's literary heritage through song, poetry and storytelling.

Built around the life and work of James Joyce, the stroll traces his journey from aspiring young writer to the author of Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses, visiting the places that shaped his imagination.

Along the way, we also encounter fellow writers and artists including Oscar and Lady Jane Wilde, Æ George Russell and Susan L. Mitchell, revealing the rich creative world that once flourished around Merrion Square.
