Dun Laoghaire, which is about 11 kms south from the city centre, has been a popular seaside destination for nearly 200 years thanks to its large harbour and sheltered coastline. On this tour you'll learn about its history, its Victorian past and its connections with sea swimming and sailing. Walk along Dun Laoghaire harbour and enjoy the magnificent views of Dublin Bay.
