Go early, it gets crowded. You can get a self guided audio tour to tell you about the church. The church is beautiful, lots of great pictures. This doesn’t take a long time so nice to go when you don’t have tons of plans. We were able to attend a Eucharist as well which I found very special.

    Great self-guided tour with audio device. Beautiful area. Definitely check out the large garden area.

    First thing you see when...

    Larry_S, Jun 2026
    First thing you see when entering the cathedral is "money changers," a gift shop, right inside the front doors. Detracted from the whole experience. Too crowded, with several large tour groups inside the cathedral all at once, made maneuvering inside very difficult.

    Easy Booking with ZERO Issues!

    Craig_R, Jun 2026
    Great experience. Easy booking with no issues. The tour itself was a self guided tour and it was very well narrated.

    Audio guide is included. ...

    Christina_A, Jun 2026
    Audio guide is included. It was fairly crowded when we visited, but it was mildly interesting. The Boyle family memorial was a surprising delight.

    Beautiful Cathedral

    Stephanie_H, May 2026
    Beautiful cathedral. Quite a bit of history. It’s very interesting. It’s self guided and they provide the listening device. Worth going.

    Loved the cathedral for...

    Maria_M, May 2026
    Loved the cathedral for its stunning Gothic architecture. "Beautiful place, the architecture is impressive."

    A lot of history

    BFH, May 2026
    Nice to see an old church, pretty windows and easy to walk around . Need 30 minutes to an hour to have the experience

    St Patrick's Church

    Tammie_S, May 2026
    Very disappointed in this church. It was not kept up and it seemed like they had a bunch of junk in there but they were storing that people donated just to have their name on it. It just wasn't as grand as I was hoping for. Did not spend a lot of time walking through.

    This tour is a fraud. Do not purchase.

    Lynsey_W, Apr 2026
    I purchased a family ticket for Good Friday. I asked twice prior to arrival whether the cathedral was open for tours. No one ever answered me. I later received a cancellation notice but have not received a refund well over a week later. Buyers beware. Book this tour elsewhere.

    The stained glass windows...

    Michelle_P, Apr 2026
    The stained glass windows are magnificent. The history and ambience is magical. A must see when visiting Dublin.

    Excellent tour with...

    Heather_L, Apr 2026
    Excellent tour with explanations via the audio guide. There are several languages available. We walked around the cathedral at our own pace learning about the history and many events which have taken place here. Well worth the visit!

    St Patrick Cathedral

    Rita_B, Feb 2026
    We did a self guided tour. It was easy to manoeuvre with the audio. Wish I could have done a mass. Lots of information

    heavenly choir

    PAOLO_R, Oct 2025
    I didn't have the opportunity to hear the choir sing but if possible make time to enjoy this very old tradition during the school year.

    Beautiful images and history Love the organ and the park outside Reasonable pricing and great place for gifts

    Self guided tour was...

    Lisa_K, Oct 2025
    Self guided tour was thorough and allowed touring the cathedral at one's own pace. Recommend going first thing when it opens before the tour busses arrive to allow for less crowded experience.

    Beautiful cathedral. Must...

    You must follow the audio tour. Very informative especially if you choose the additional information described by the question mark

    Less inspirational than I...

    DOUGLAS_E, Aug 2025
    Less inspirational than I expected. More museum. Still a nice place. Learned about te area and church

    St. Patrick’s Cathedral

    Francis_M, Aug 2025
    Great tour. I would recommend doing the audio guided tour. Beautiful cathedral. A lot of rich history. I had always thought St. Patrick’s was a catholic cathedral, it’s not but was at one point and is now a Protestant cathedral.

    What a beautiful...

    Michele_J, Jul 2025
    What a beautiful cathedral. Battle colours from centuries past. Amazing stain glass windows. Friendly team members. Well worth the time and effort to spend an hour or two at St Patrick’s in Dublin.

    Patty is Terrific!

    Karen_C, Jul 2025
    Patty was great! Much prefer human commentary over the audio recording. The tour was super interesting and informative, and Patty was funny and humble.. Would definitely recommend.

    Solo Visit

    Tabitha_W, Jul 2025
    Beautiful! Friendly staff and cute gift shop. If you can, download the tour ahead of time cause I internet is slow during high tourism.

    Just Gorgeous

    Diana_C, Jul 2025
    This cathedral was absolutely stunning! We did a self-guided tour and it was fine. I think that a guided tour would've been better just to learn even more. We really enjoyed our time visiting.
