Flukey's Virtual Walking Tour
of
Dublin
The Capital City of Ireland
Welcome to one of the most comprehensive photo sites of Dublin on the internet. Please take time to look at it and see what is in Dublin. If you are coming, why not take a tour of Dublin on foot?
Dublin is a relatively small city and a great way for a tourist to see it is to walk around it.
For that however you need a guide to show you around and to explain what you are seeing. Who better than a friendly native? Here is a pictorial tour, with yours truly as your guide, using all my own photos.

Now if you ever do come, maybe you could see this for real. All this and more, and of course not forgetting a drink in one of Dublin's fine pubs. There are so many to choose from.
Basically enjoy the open air of the city and leave the walking around of Museums and Galleries for another day.
