My daughter stayed in a dorm room for two nights at Trinity College. She said that it was great. She would recommend staying here for young people who want a comfortable stay without breaking the bank. She was a little afraid when she arrived at 01:30 in the morning as it was very dark but she found her accommodation and was pretty comfortable during her stay.

An amazing tour lead by a knowledgeable and amazing guide. Luca detailed with charm and humor such great stories of old and new of the college. I learned a lot of interesting facts and seeing the book of kells and visiting the library was definitely well worth it.

Very good tour of college by a law student named Katie. Took us all over campus explaining history and college life today. Mostly an outside tour which ends at Book of Kells which is self guided. Download app before you go and listen. Very adamant about not taking pictures of Book of Kells. Guide will not allow. From there to Long Room Library where videos and pictures are allowed. Suggest buying tickets ahead online if crowded season.

My wife and I concluded our Ireland tour by spending two days in Dublin. We had no idea what to expect by touring Trinity College, but we knew we wanted to see the Book of Kells. We did a combined ticket for the tour of the college of the Book of Kells as the solo option for the Kells was sold out. Still, we had a student tour guide who did a remarkable job at telling us the history of this famous college with doses of humor. A lot of prominent Irish people attended. The campus grounds are gorgeous as is much of the architecture. We went in to many buildings and made a stop at the campus pub where you can buy the cheapest pint of Guinness in Ireland. We had a wonderful morning at Trinity.

We grabbed a student led tour to get the history but also the personal side of the College. Roseanne was amazing and had us ooing and ahhing at the history as well as laughing at her stories of her fellow students and their shenanigans. We found out the day before our tour that the Library was under a restoration project and the books had been removed for cleaning, cataloguing and preservation as well as cleaning and maintenance of the library itself. This was devastating but we decided to go anyway... it was still worth it. Some of the books were still there in the first few bays but the rest was empty.. an eerie sight actually and something that wont happen again for many MANY years. The College are calling seeing the empty library a "once in a lifetime experience" and I guess it was. The book of Kells display was a disappointment unfortunately. They let way too many people in at once and you cant move in there. You cant see anything for the sea of people and worst of all, the day we were there it was 26c and humid with no airflow in the building. .it was actually disgusting to breath. After a couple of hours we were peckish so we decided to try the student cafeteria. I checked with the lady on the register if tourists could eat here and she said it as fine so I'd recommend that for something different. Basic food with healthy options at cheap prices. It was orientation week so the place was buzzing with new and returning students then here's us in our mid 40s hanging with the cool kids eating lunch in the cafeteria.. LOL. Even with the library empty I'd recommend the College as a whole.. its definitely something that was on my list of must do's in Dublin.

The college has an amazing history and the buildings are gorgeous. The campus has much green space. But the real draw is the Book of Kells. The book (of which you can only see one page at a time) is gorgeous, and the history display is also beautiful. It is worth the visit. Then you enter the library. The library is out of an English novel. It is vast. Wonderful!

I wanted to take my boys to look at the university. Call it inspiration. They were really impressed with the atmosphere (there was a graduation), the library, the buildings, … I really recommend walking through the grounds just to try and get your kids thinking about possible ambition for the future. This place certainly gave them a taste of what could be.

Founded by Queen Elizabeth I , towards the end of 16th Cent., it is now one of the most important and beautiful attractions of Dublin (aside of being a known University). The main college grounds include some beautiful squares and buildings of various architectural style. Bring your cameras along, and allow yourselves at least an hour to fully enjoy the campus.

A beautiful campus established in 1592. Lots of grassy areas. Gorgeous stone buildings. Although we didn't go into any "classroom" buildings, we did return later in the day for an "Evensong" in the Chapel. A beautiful building.

Great tour of a historical college in Dublin Center. Really awesome grounds. Highlight was the library/Book Of Kells. Even during a cold November all the grounds were really green and made an awesome backdrop for the buildings. You could easily spend a couple of hours walking the campus.
