Starting at historic Dublin Castle, join author Pat Liddy or one of his expert guides, on a walking tour through Dublin's old city. Learn about famous writers from Swift to Beckett and their connections to the city. The route, from Dublin Castle to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, will explore familiar streets and hidden gems, covering the lives of local writers and the experiences of visiting luminaries like Charles Dickens and J.P. Donleavy. Dublin, a UNESCO City of Literature since 2010, is home to four Nobel laureates—Yeats, Beckett, Shaw, and Heaney—and creative writing is still flourishing, as the Dublin Book Festival amply demonstrates.
