Dublin by Bicycle
Dublin is flat, compact, and increasingly bike-friendly — a dedicated cycling infrastructure has expanded significantly in recent years. A guided bike tour covers more ground than a walking tour in less time, with the physical engagement and fresh air that a bus tour lacks. Routes typically cover the city centre (Trinity College, Georgian squares, the quays), Phoenix Park (one of the largest enclosed urban parks in Europe), and the coastal areas (Sandymount Strand, Dublin Bay).
