Dublin Docklands Walking Tour

Explore the iconic Docklands sites, and finish with a guided visit to the Substrata exhibition.

A fascinating walking tour around the area of Docklands, which goes from the Custom House to Dublin Port

The tour includes areas such as George’s Dock, Spencer Dock, the Royal Canal, Mayor Street, Guild Street, and Sheriff Street. It was once one of the bustling communities of Dublin’s old docklands where ships would arrive and unload goods; it is now an area of huge contrast, as modern developments grow amidst the remnants of the old port and dockland communities.

The area gets its name from the wall that was constructed along the river Liffey just over 300 years ago to extend the docklands. This allowed former swampland between the river and the North Strand to be reclaimed and divided up into lots in 1717 which could be infilled by the new owners and creating the long standing community of the North Wall.

At the end of the tour, the guide will leave the attendees at the Substrata exhibition, where they will be taken on a tour of the exhibition.
