Let your guide lead the way as your pedal through the city and visit places where bus tours can't take you while you explore U2's birthplace.

Your guide takes you to the music venue where the band's lyrics are scripted on the wall, by the school that expelled Bono, and to the Project Arts Centre where the group met their manager. Continue along Windmill Lane to see where the guys' early recordings were made and head over to south docklands, where the band's Hanover Studio was based.

At the Grand Canal Lock, see locations where the cover photo of October—their first greatest hits album—was shot. Stop here to pose for a picture before admiring the U2 Tower, an eco-attentive skyscraper and one of Ireland's tallest buildings.
