Top Dublin Literary Tours

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

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. Guided by songwriter R.M. Jacobs.
