Follow your 5-Star Guide through the historic city center, passing landmarks such as St. Andrew’s Church, Trinity College and the Talbot Memorial Bridge. On the other side of the Liffey River you will find the Custom House, which was occupied and then burnt in 1921 by the Irish Republican Army. Nearby at the Docklands you will see the touching Famine Memorial, a reminder of the nation’s struggles, and the James Connolly Memorial, which commemorates an Irish republican who was executed for his role in the Easter Rising of 1916. The final stop will be in front of the General Post Office, which served as the headquarters of the Rising leaders during the Easter Rising and where Patrick Pearse read out the Proclamation of the Irish Republic.
