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

There is a detailed display about the materials and methods used to make the book before you get to it. The Long Room is just a very impressive sight -... more

Our hotel (Jury Hotel, which was ok..ish) introduced us to Rossa a really funny and crazy guide from Angel Tours. We did a tour each day for 3 days. Trinity was the best, it lasted four hours. He took us to the book of Kells and then all around. Each day the tour ended in a bar it was like... more

Trinity College is certainly worth a visit if you're in Dublin. It's historic and attractive in its own right, but it doesn't have the ambience of (say) Cambridge. The main feature for tourists is the Book of Kells. Entrance to the exhibits is 7.50 Euros. The exhibit is quite extensive and includes a history of Christianity in Ireland, ancient Irish... more

If you are visiting Dublin you must wander around beautiful Trinity College, situated at the heart of the city. Enclosed by high stone walls is a wonderful atmosphere, cloister like seperated from the hustle and bustle of Grafron St. more
