The Journey

Sweny's Pharmacy

Step into the pages of James Joyce's 'Ulysses' at Sweny's Pharmacy, a perfectly preserved Victorian-era chemist.

Today, it's a literary landmark where you can purchase a bar of lemon soap – made according to the original recipe – and immerse yourself in the world of Joyce, surrounded by the scent of old books and the echoes of Dublin's literary past. It's more than a pharmacy; it's a living monument to one of Ireland's most celebrated writers, offering a unique sensory and intellectual experience.
