Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We had a great visit to St Michan's . We were greeted by Beatrice who was very warm and welcoming. We then started our tour of the church and crypt with our excellent guide Andrew.
    It was a very relaxed and informative tour. Andrew not only told the fascinating history of the church and crypts, but also gave us information on how the church, and it's parishioners played a role in various stages of Ireland's history.
    St Michan's is well worth a visit.

    This was a good bit of fun for about 45 minutes or so. The storytelling was good fun and well tailored to the audience of mixed adults and children and the tour guide, Neive, was great.

    O'Connell Street is a good place to start when visiting Dublin...the street is steeped in history and everywhere are reminders of the struggle for the independence of the Irish people. Note the GPO, the Jim Larkin statue, the Daniel O'Connell Monument, and much more.

    Today's visitor will see lots of commercial venues, restaurants, pubs, department stores as well as the historical sites. It's a busy location with tourists, students, and locals going about their daily business. Nearly everything is an easy walk from this location.

    Enjoy!

    Just outside of the city, on through, LUAS line, within the old army barracks is this wonderful exhibition, of furniture, art and various pieces through the ages, and it is all free.

    A super tour of EMMA BACKSTAGE. Darragh our guide told us the history of the Abbey from 1904 to the present day. We started in the auditorium then on to the stage where we could see and touch the amazing curtains, upholstery and props of this super production. We were fortunate to get a firsthand story from one of the stagehands about a set that collapsed during a performance. We moved on to the wings and saw a gorgeous costume which weighed a ton (Ciara Berkeley you are some woman) and lots of props. Upstairs to the dressing rooms with interesting photos along the corridor. Then the make-up room and shown lots of wigs, blood, broken glass and clay. Darragh who has great knowledge and love of the theater told interesting stories of people and things that happened over the 120 yrs of the theater throughout the tour. Olivia the trainees guide has a hard act to follow, good luck! I would certainly recommend this tour.

    Henry Street is just off O'Connell Street and is quite busy. It is pedestrianised which is good as when I was there lots of people were milling about and also lots of shops to visit and obviously they generate footfall.

    The Northbound trams on the green line stop at O'Connell which is really close by and the red line runs parallel to Henry Street so it is not far to get a tram on this route.

    Smithfield Square is unrecognisable from what it was before the rejuvenation for the 21st century. I’m in the motor industry and I remember going to the Corporation Weight Bridge at the top of the square to get vans weighted to get them taxed. Today the old businesses and scrapyards are gone and it’s a beautiful cosmopolitan area with tourist attractions bars, restaurants, museums and a cinema plus lots of apartments

    It's a bridge. Not much to make of it really but it is pretty and easy to cross as it is not steep. It's free these days so why not?! Gives easy access to the north side of the city.

    St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral dates from the early 1820s and is a fine example of Greek Classical style with its six Doric columns in the front. If you're in O'Connell Street area, be sure to visit this beautiful church as it's not far from O'Connell Street itself. Beautiful tiled floor inside and plasterwork. The domes inside and Greek columns continue the classical theme. It's a peaceful place to worship and meditate. This is also the largest Roman Catholic church in Dublin.

    Our tour with Eamonn from ChaperoneVIP Private Tours (search on TripAdvisor) to Arbor Hill Cemetery was just fantastic. What amazes me is that this isn't on the radar as a great site to visit. Thanks to Eamonn we visited and had a great explanation of what this site is really all about. I encourage everyone to read up, and see why this cemetery is a real focal point to the 1916 Easter uprising. This is where President Kennedy laid a wreath and scandalized some by calling attention to, and honoring the heros laid here.

    It was possible to visit the structure only from the outside, one of the key-places of the Rising in 1916

    There were so few vendor stands at Moore Street that it really wasn't worth the trouble. I was in the neighborhood anyway (nearby Henry Street is a nice shopping street) so at least I didn't go out of my way to visit the Moore Street market

    This is an important civic building at the head of one of the best preserved Georgian streets in North Dublin. The exterior of grey stone is imposing and impressive. Pleasant grounds have benches to rest on as you take a break from your walk around the city.

    A nice and free little exhibit that had some interesting photos and was a welcome respite from the rain. Pretty small and won’t take very long to see everything. There was a super cute little market right outside on the morning that we went and we got some great coffee and some of the best sausage rolls ever.
