What To Expect
Dublin Castle
This spot was once where the original Viking fortifications stood. It’s the high point of the city, making it easy to defend and giving it a clear view of the surrounding area. So when the English King John decided to build a castle in 1204, he picked the same spot. It was constructed as a motte and bailey, basically a main building on a hill surrounded by a defensive wall with a large courtyard and smaller buildings inside. Note: The tour is over 2.9 miles long, with more than 41 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours per tour to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry.

Molly Malone Statue
The song is simple and catchy, and it’s been popular ever since it was first published in the 1800s. The version we know today made its first appearance in a book of music hall songs printed in Boston, though it was definitely sung before then.
