The earth is a quest of wonderful places and Dublin is a small bag of precious gems in that quest. The serenity and heritage of Dublin have their word out all around the world because of the relaxing and historical sites that depict the journey Dublin has gone through to preserve its beauty.

History is meant to be read and remembered, but it gets even more exciting and memorable when the objects, buildings, or places that depict history are witnessed right by the presence near them. Dublin, the capital of Ireland, which has been a part of many famous wars against the entities that tried to snatch the beauty and heritage of the country, is known for its preserved pieces that depict an essence of wonderful and unimaginable history that the soil of Dublin has witnessed.

A tour to Dublin is not just a visit but a journey that one carries as memories throughout his life. The city is compact but consists of valuable assets in the form of buildings and sites that are best witnessed by a walking tour which included many fragments of walks like the 1916 Rebellion tour. A walk through the streets of Dublin is a complete package of fun and knowledge which is quite famous and people from all around the world travel and come to witness the beauty of this place.

The Grand Walk of Dublin starts with Dublin Castle which is one of the most famous highlights of the capital. Being held by the British Council during their rule back until the year 1922, the building now serves as a complex of the Irish Government and is also a famous tourist site besides that.

Moving forward with the walking tour, approximately after two minutes, visitors come across the Dublin City Hall which is no less than a wonder. Depicting the architecture of the 18th century, the Dublin City Hall is a civic building that is originally referred to as the Royal Exchange. The place is a notable sight that holds the beautiful architectural design from the world-renowned architect Thomas Cooley.

Advancing in the walk-through, the next site that falls up is a blessing for the believers. The Christ Church Cathedral, also known as the “The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity” is a beautiful building that satisfies every eye and blesses those who witness it. It is said that Richard Fitz Gilbert de Clare, also known as Strongbow, was buried in Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin in 1176 "within sight of the hallowed cross." Gerald of Wales made this statement, although there is no information about Strongbow's tomb before the cathedral's south wall collapsed in 1562, which caused damage to it.

The next sight that awaits is the HalfPenny Bridge, officially known as the Liffey Bridge is a unique site that catches the sight of the one who watches it. Many famous movies do hold glimpses of this beautiful piece which is a combination of the excellence of both architecture and nature.
