The Experience

Discover Dublin's darker history on this two-hour guided walking tour through the city's historic streets. From disturbing true crimes to centuries-old ghost stories, Dublin After Dark explores the people and events behind some of the capital's most unsettling legends.

Starting near City Hall, follow your guide through Dublin as you hear about Darkey Kelly, an 18th-century woman remembered in local folklore as a witch, and the mysterious Green Lady of St Audoen's.

The tour also explores the legends surrounding the Hellfire Club and the Gates of Hell, alongside the extraordinary true-crime story of Billy and the Bowl, a man born without legs who became associated with a series of disappearances and murder.
