Experience Dublin at its most magical with the Christmas Twinkling Lights Trip, running from 1 to 23 December 2026 with Vintage Tea Trips. This charming seasonal experience combines the sparkle of Dublin’s Christmas lights with delicious festive treats aboard a beautifully styled vintage bus.
Settle into the cosy surroundings and enjoy a traditional festive afternoon tea featuring seasonal favourites, including indulgent mince pies and the signature Christmas sandwich. As the bus travels through the city, admire Dublin’s illuminated landmarks and sparkling Christmas displays, including sights around the GPO, City Hall and Trinity College.
With classic Christmas songs playing in the background, the journey offers a nostalgic way to discover the capital during the festive season. Dublin stories add local character to the experience, while tea, coffee and hot chocolate keep everyone warm as the city lights twinkle outside.
Each trip lasts approximately 70–80 minutes, making it an ideal festive activity for couples, friends, families and visitors looking for something a little different. The relaxed atmosphere also gives you plenty of time to chat, enjoy the refreshments and take in the seasonal scenery.
Departing from Stephen Court, near St Stephen’s Green, the experience runs on selected dates throughout December, with multiple evening departures available.
Tickets start at €60 for adults, with other prices available for younger guests. Advance booking is recommended through the official Vintage Tea Trips website.
