I would not recommend the Book of Kells. So many tourists looking over a glass box pushing and shoving really was disturbing. Also for a first class university the restrooms we were routed to smelled so bad of urine that my wife could not even use the womens and I could hardly stand using the mens room. I suggest walking... more

Upon entering Trinity College you are immmediately greeted by a sign announcing guided tours for 10 euro (aug 2009). The tours are conducted by students at the college and the only added fee for a guided tour is the one euro, since it already costs 9 euro to see the Book of Kells. The guides are excellent public speakers and... more

It has many classic buildings and monuments and is certainly worth a tour, especially if you are going to see the Book of Kells. We toured it using information from a tour book, but you can get a guided tour through the university. The Buttery, a... more

Those wooden doors that open up to Trinity College campus lead you to another world. It is filled with history, beauty, and obviously, great minds! Loved the statues, campus, Book of Kells, the long library, the students, everything! And it is so close to everything else great to see. Crowded walking downtown, but that is expected of any place many... more
