The 1916 Rebellion Walking Tour was founded in 1996 by Lorcan Collins, author, historian and Dubliner. This two hour walking tour meets daily at The International Bar where participants receive a copy of the 1916 Proclamation and some explanatory literature. After a brief introduction to the build up to the Easter Rising of 1916 the tour then visits the sites of the revolutionary period including the GPO, City Hall and Dublin Castle. The tour also covers the War of Independence when Michael Collins battled for Irish freedom from 1919-21 and also includes a discussion on the Irish Civil War, 1922-23. The tour is highly educational but also great fun and very interactive. Prior knowledge of events is not required.

  • 1916 Rebellion Walking Tour, Dublin, Ireland
    This is our starting point, the famous International Bar where Lorcan Collins has been running the 1916 Tour since 1996. You are welcome to come earlier and enjoy a drink and a read of the introductory literature supplied by your guide. The tour begins with a short introduction to the build up to the revolutionary period, starting with the Great Hunger / Irish Famine of the 1840's and culminating with the 1916 Rising. This gives all participants an understanding of the events leading up to the revolution and also gives everyone a chance to ask questions and get to know the guide. We will let you know what route we are going to take, below are some of the examples of places that we typically visit but we vary the route so that the tour does not become stale but you will be happy with the various places that you get to see.
    15 minutes
  • City Hall, Dublin, Ireland
    City Hall was occupied during the 1916 Rising by the Irish Citizen Army so we will stop here and talk about that aspect of Easter Week 1916.
    15 minutes
  • Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland
    We will visit Dublin Castle where the British administration controlled Ireland from. We will discuss it's role in the 1916 Rising and War of Independence. You might recall Dublin Castle from the Michael Collins movie.
    15 minutes
  • Four Courts, Dublin, Ireland
    The Four Courts was occupied by the revolutionaries in 1916 and again in the build up to the Irish Civil War in 1922. Rather than go all the way up to the building it is best seen from a bridge over the River Liffey. Here there will be a discussion on the Four Courts role in 1916 and 1922 and the intricacies of the Civil War will be explained.
    15 minutes
  • O'Connell Street Lower, North City, Dublin 1, D01 TX31, Ireland
    There are lots of little stops along the walk but we will also stop at Daniel O'Connell's Memorial to look at the bullet holes from the Rising and explain the positions occupied by the British and the Irish in 1916.
    15 minutes
  • Jim Larkin Statue, Dublin, Ireland
    Big Jim Larkin the Union Man from Liverpool was a great comrade of James Connolly and a true friend to the Dublin working class. We'll stop at his statue and explain his contribution to the revolutionary period.
    15 minutes
  • An Post General Post Office, Dublin, Ireland
    The GPO was the HQ for the Revolutionaries in Dublin and is one of our most important stops where an explanation of the events of Easter 1916 will unfold. This is the place where PH Pearse read the Proclamation and is an integral part of the Irish national psyche - the most important and historic building in Dublin.
    30 minutes
  • Moore Street, Dublin, Ireland
    Depending on time we often go to Moore Street to see where the GPO Garrison made their last stand in Easter Week.
    15 minutes
  • Bank of Ireland, Dublin, Ireland
    This is more colloquially known as the Old Parliament and depending on the route taken by the guide we may examine the building and it's role in Irish history and it's neighbour Trinity College. Again, we stress that we vary the route of the walking tour so it just depends on the day!

Fascinating coverage of the 1916 Rebellion to understand Irish political history and mindset. Presented in an accessible and fun way. Phelam was terrific!

We were very lucky to tour with Donal Fallon. He is a great guide and even better historian so the tour not only helped bring the rebellion to life but it was a great way to get a sense of Dublin and its history. We previously visited the GPO Museum but we should have skipped it and just done the tour!
