We enjoyed our tour of this place!

You enter visitor center, have your ticket, and wait for the appropriate time to take shuttle bus to the site it's self... Visitor center is interesing, but nothing compares with Newgrange site! It's is really impressive,especially when you enter inside the tomb to find your self in a dark, tiny room and realise you are surrounded by tones of rocks and soil! Guides are very imformative and polite, and site well-maintened. Definately worths a visit!

Newgrange was far and away the most amazing thing we saw on our trip to Ireland. The visitors center was interesting, but the tour of the tomb itself was incredible. Tour guides take you inside the tomb and simulate the way the light enters the tomb on the day of the winter solstice. The "grafitti", from the 1800s, was also very interesting. A must see.

If you're a tourist, it is not so easy to arrive there on your own. We found there was no public transport. There is a shuttle bus, and also a few tour buses. We opted for a tour that included a stop at the Hill of Tara. Newgrange is very protected so your time at the actual burial mound will be limited. The visitor center where tickets are sold has alot of info, so even if the subject is new to you, you will feel informed when you get to the burial mound.
Arrive early because only a certain amount of tickets are sold each day. We wished we could have seen the second burial site at Knowth, but that option wasn't available on our tour.
Surely worth a visit- what else is like it?
