Dublin Viking Adventure
Much like Colonial Williamsburg does, this popular attraction brings you back in time with the help of actors playing citizens of Viking-era Dublin. The "Vikings" who populate the village create a lively, authentic atmosphere in their period houses and detailed costumes. The townspeople engage in the activities of daily life in the Wood Quay area along the Liffey, while you watch and interact with them. An opportunity to travel through time - at Dublin's Viking Adventure, an exciting, live and interactive experience of life in Viking Dublin. A Norse guide takes you on a fascinating journey through a Dublin of long ago. Walk the narrow streets of the Viking town of "Dyflin" where you can chat to the locals, observe their daily work and even experience the sounds and smells of the city, imaginatively and accurately recreated and brought to life.
