1916 Easter Rising Tour
Duration: 2hrs
Walk in the footsteps of Ireland's revolutionary heroes.
This tour will include Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the Irish Citizens Army and the site that produced The Proclamation of the Irish Republic.
Continuing down Abbey Street, we will begin the rebels march on the GPO, the epicentre of the Easter Rising. From the GPO, we will follow the route of the rebels as they made their retreat down Moore Street and visit the site where the rebellion would end with Patrick Pearse offering his surrender to General Lowe.
The tour will finish at the Garden of Remembrance, where many of the rebels were brought following their surrender and today a peaceful garden dedicated to the men and women of Ireland's struggle for Independence.
