Historic and iconic. As with these old gothic cathedrals it’s a kinda dark interior. I always stop and check out churches, chapels, mosques and synagogues. Very seldom is there an upfront charge at a working church. Kinda takes away and seems too money oriented.

The guided tour here was great! Antóin was very knowledgeable about everything in the cathedral, and told us about important history as well as fun facts; there are so many memorials and plaques packed into this church that it wouldn't have had the same impact without him as a guide. I do recommend coming at an earlier time, or on a weekday, since when we arrived they were preparing for an evening service and we didn't want to browse through everything while people were attending church. Overall a really nice experience, and try to get Antóin as your guide if you can!

We visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral on our own. It was a little pricey compared to other Cathedrals we visited. The Cathedral is very ornate on the inside with beautiful stained-glass windows. A handout is provided that gives you the history of the Cathedral along with the location of several tombs worth viewing. Many tour groups visit there, so this Cathedral is very busy. So, try to arrive first thing in the morning or before closing. The outside area is a lovely park. I would recommend visiting if you have time.

St. Patrick's Cathedral is where you will want to spend hours learning the history as well as the people buried/recognized there. My husband and I were amazed at the historical information available in the cathedral. The military flags hanging until they disintegrate was a new concept to us for honoring the dead servicemen. Architecturally, the cathedral is a masterpiece. It is amazing the detailed work done centuries ago. The history and architecture humble you. The crowds in the cathedral can be a bit overwhelming, but we had plenty of time for them to thin out so we could see more of the cathedral. If you are planning a trip to Ireland, make sure you leave plenty of time to visit the cathedral, it is well worth your time.

The tour was fantastic! It was interactive while allowing space for quiet meditation. The self-paced approach let me spend more time reviewing the items that interested me while moving more quickly through areas I had seen before. I will recommend this tour to everyone.

It's quite beautiful. I'm not religious and I'd still say it's worth checking out. There's plenty of information available about what you are seeing. There is also an audio guide you can get for free. I took the self guided tour and it was more than enough to learn about this place and the history behind it.

Beautiful Cathedral at Dublin, Ireland. They give you an audio guide to learn of all the history of it. Have to book on line and pay around 6€. They have very friendly staff to help you and public washrooms inside.

The cathedral drips of history. It is worth spending some time to look at the sculptures, monuments and other displays. The chapels are also beautiful. There is a self-guided tour which explains the various pieces. It is worth using.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland. Although a church has stood on this site since the 5th century, this building dates back to the turn of the 12th century, with several periods of restoration. The outside is a magnificent edifice, and we might have enjoyed walking the grounds even more than touring the inside of the cathedral. We procured tickets online for the earliest time available (9:30 a.m.). To our dismay, there were numerous tour busses, also scheduled for this time, and so there were hordes of people admitted. It was so difficult to admire the interior of Saint Patrick's while being jostled by so many other tourists! Some of the highlights included: The cathedral is filled with artifacts, the gorgoeous original 12th-century floor tiles, the tombs of Jonathan Swift (author of Gulliver's Travels) and Esther Johnson, his long-term companion, the Tree of Rememberance honoring those who have been affected by conflict, and the names, banners, and hatchments of the Knights of Saint Patrick on display. We enjoyed our visit to the cathedral but found more spiritual peace while walking the beautifully manicured cathedral grounds!

The cathedral was very beautiful! It is very easy to walk to with so many other interests/sights along the way. We stayed at the Trinity Hotel making walking to the St. Patrick’s Cathedral easy. We went on a Sunday at 2:30PM which was the last admittance time during that block (on Sundays, they have blocks of times they are open). I was worried we would be rushed along - we were not! We stayed for at least an hour leisurely viewing, sitting in prayer and listening to the choir! Before we left, maybe around 3:15ish we had the honor of sitting and listening to the choir as they rehearsed. The gift shop was closing when we left, so if you go at a later time, as we did, you may want to make your purchase first.
