    Beautiful cemetery and fascinating museum!

    As some of those weird people who love cemeteries, my partner and I were interested in visiting Glasnevin. It was a beautiful place with a fascinating history. We were impressed with the museum, as well. It was beautifully presented and very informative!

    The tour guide is a must

    Solemn place of rest for heroes and the wealthy. The tower and crypt of O'Connell seemed fitting for his value to the nation. Michael Collins memorial was far more modest. The tour guide was fabulous.

    Should be visited by every Irish person

    It was amazing to feel the historical significance of this place with so many graves of significant heroes from the understated Constance Markievicz to the grandeur of O'Connell. We didn't take the organised tour but did overhear the Pearse speech re-enactment so I would recommend...More
