We had the pleasure of the view of this cathedral from the Jurys Inn hotel opposite. But we also took a visit and listened to the beautiful choir in an afternoon service in Sunday at 3.30pm. We were really made to feel welcome too, which made it easier to feel comfortable, even though I don't usually attend church services. Impressive.

We were lucky that, when we arrived a local school choir were singing Christmas hymns and, we were able to sit and watch and take it all in which was a wonderful experience. We also did the full tour but as we were short on time we decided not to use the optional audio guide. The staff here were very friendly and helpful and the entrance fee is reasonable for the amount of interesting things to view. The crypt has a small gift shop and an area where you can dress in medieval style clothing, which was popular with many of the visitors. There are also toilet facilities in the crypt. I would definetly visit again.

Guided tour was fantastic!! We had a male tour guide - I’m sorry I didn’t catch his name because we were a few minutes late. He was funny, knowledgeable and entertaining. He lead us on an informative yet FUN tour around the cathedral. We saw the mummified cat and mouse, Dublin from the bell tower and rang the Christ Church bells! It was the most fun we had all trip. A must do!!! Thank you and keep in doing great tours!

I have been lucky enough to be back to Christ Church a fews times over the years and each time I feel a little overwhelmed when entering the main body of the cathedral. You are immediately enveloped in the quiet calm of this sacred place, and my mind always goes back to the thought that this represents about 1000 years of continuous worship and reflection. Men and women have, over the centuries come to worship, to ask for help, intercession, relief from illness and affliction, to pray before going into battle, to pray for the dead and dying. The walls must hold so many thoughts and secrets ! How lucky to be here and to admire the timelessness and majesty of the stained glass windows, the exquisite floor tiling, the soaring ceilings, the crypts ( were they really a market place so long ago ?) and the bell tower. It is so beautiful just to sit and recharge, even for just a few minutes and be still. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the clergy, all the staff, the volunteers- those who make this such a special place.

I was walking down Dame Street towards the Christ Church Cathedral with my sister from Poland and my girlfriend from the Philippines. The main reason why my sister and my girlfriend came to Dublin was a religious experience related to visiting the church. When we finally reached the church, we entered the cathedral, opened the main door and saw a man in a black suit (priest?) who asked us to go out... We could not believe... It is unthinkable in Poland and either in the Philippines that a priest will not allow you to enter the cathedral during a mass. Come visit Poland or the Philippines, you will enter churches always, almost anytime, priests are always welcoming and friendly and supportive, unlike in IRELAND!

Beautiful cathedral - don’t miss the crypt! After you enter and pay your admission you’ll scan a QR code to bring up the audio guide on your phone (very 21st century!). The stories told are what makes the visit all the more interesting. Down in the crypt is some beautiful Eucharist plates and chalices, as well as the Black Book…..Magna Carta buffs won’t want to miss a glimpse of that. I could have done without the skeletal remains of the cat and rat, but as they were next to the gift shop (which was lovely) I had to take a look. this is a must visit and just steps from St. Patrick’s cathedral.

This place would be in my top ten when we are talking about Dublin experiences. Breathtaking architecture. Stunning view. Telling a stories centuries ago. For any tourist and visitor this is a must see spot. Holy mass available on Sundays. Visitors - i will recommend to book your ticket online because quees are happening very often. Next to the cathedral there is beautiful viking experience museum 'Dublinia' , so it's a good way to explore both spots.

Was here alone last October. Did the self guided tour. This is a very beautiful church in " competition " with St. Patrick's Cathedral. On the grounds is a statue of a man lying down on a bench. If you look closely you will see nail holes on the feet. So you can deduce who this is meant to be. Inside. In the basement, you will find the mummified remains of a cat and a rat. The cat was chasing a rat and they went up, if I remember, an organ pipe. Both got stuck. Don't forget to see the catacombs! Lord Strongbow, nickname of Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Lord of Leinster, Justiciar of Ireland, also known as Richard FitzGilbert, was an Anglo-Norman nobleman notable for his leading role in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland. He was reported to be buried here although other sources said he was buried in Gloucester. The church architecture is quite impressive and beautiful. It alone is worth your time. If you ask me, I would say at par with St. Patrick's Cathedral. Visit both of them!

Great place to visit and loved the option of an audio or written guide, my son loved the audio guide and could navigate this himself. As a cathedral lover it’s always nice to visit somewhere new. It’s a small but pretty cathedral and the treasures and fun facts (Rat and the Cat) were good to learn about.

It looks bigger in pictures. It's free to get in. Basically, it's a regular church with a lot of history. I did not know until after I left that you could visit the crypts in the basement. A lot of people visit each day but the crowds don't pose a problem because there is a lot of space to walk around.
