Wood Quay is a historic area in the heart of Dublin. Resting on the south side of the River Liffey, the area was developed as Ireland’s first Viking settlement in 841. Situated close to the popular tourist destination of Christchurch Cathedral, Wood Quay is today home to Viking remains, which visitors can view at the Dublinia exhibition. This exhibition boasts life-size reconstructions of Medieval Dublin, as well as a wonderful view of the city from the 60m St Michael’s Tower.
