Flukey's Virtual Walking Tour
of
Dublin
If you are coming, why not take a tour of Dublin on foot? Dublin is a relatively small city and a great way 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.

Grafton Street
Grafton Street is one of Dublin's nicest streets. It is pedestrianised and always full of people
It is also famous for its buskers and street theatre, which comes in many forms.
From those hardly moving...
To those hardly stopping.

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. Other sites of mine to visit, on two seaside towns near Dublin:
