Dublin's most immersive street art tour is back

Buzzing to get out and try something new? This super immersive street art tour of Dublin from Lovin Dublin and Jameson is back!

One of Dublin’s most interesting and enjoyable attractions has been hidden in plain sight. Seriously, it’s been right in front of you. What am I talking about? The street art, of course.

We often pass these incredible pieces of art without giving them too much thought. That is about to change.

Because there is now an immersive way to experience the best of it. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The City Speaks, Dublin’s first-ever immersive podcast street art tour.

 

The City Speaks is a new way to explore an old town. What better way to experience Dublin than looking at (and listening to) the city’s street art? This series of podcast episodes guides you around Smithfield and the Dublin 7 area, showcasing the most thought-provoking and simply beautiful street art to be found in the area.

Each episode focuses on a different piece of art. We chat to the prolific creator behind each piece and discover what it’s like to be a street artist in Dublin. We also learn about the deeper meaning behind the pieces that we see so much and know so well, but often don’t give much thought to.

Pop your earphones in and look up from your phone screen. Then, experience some of Dublin’s best street art like never before. You won’t believe what you’ve been missing all of this time.

You’ll not only see the pieces, but you’ll experience them with more than just your eyes. You’ll quite literally be letting the pieces speak to you.

Plus, spots such as the Hendrick, Oxmantown and Proper Order have also reopened with social distancing measures in place, so you can stop off and grab a coffee and a treat while experiencing this tour.

Well, you’ll need to head over to our class multimedia guide which houses all of these episodes as well as the route map.

After you’ve made your way around Smithfield looking at and learning about these unreal pieces, you’ll head to your final stop at Jameson Distillery Bow St. to check out a mural designed by Hephee. After being closed for some months, we are delighted to see the distillery back open to the public offering amazing experiences and delicious cocktails. And since you immersed yourself in some of the best street art Dublin has to offer, you deserve a reward. Until the end of August, Jameson is offering 2-for-1 across all experiences when you pre-book on jamesonwhiskey.com using the promo code STAYCATION.

Blend your own take-home whiskey, master the craft of whiskey cocktail making or draw whiskey straight from a Jameson cask in Dublin’s only live maturation warehouse. The perfect date afternoon or reunion with family or friends, at a safe distance of course! The offer is available on adult tickets, some T&C’s apply.
