Kilmainham Gaol Museum, Dublin

Absolutely brilliant! A must see if you're visiting Dublin. The tour guide was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely go back again. Definitely book ahead as there can be a long wait time. The history of the jail is very interesting and quite shocking, it told the story of Ireland during very difficult times.

I really enjoy this experience of visiting this old prison. The visit is made by a guide and you cannot walk around alone. It's perfect because the guide tells a lot of stories about Ireland history so it's really interesting. The prison itself is an old place and everything is the same since then so it gave an even more interesting experience.

Great place to visit for a bit of history. Tour guide was great, gave us great insight to what went down at the prison and also what the prison has been used for. Tour was a good length of time not too long or short and a nice number of people so it wasn't too hectic. Would highly recommend.

Entry with guided tour only. Need to book in advance as many tours are fully booked. The tour is a great experience for anyone interested in the history of Ireland. A Dublin must-see. The only minor drawback is that the museum looks like it’s from the 1980s in terms of media, tech and decorations.

Do I recommend this tour: OF COURSE - 5/5 Book this in advance! I didn't and was lucky to get tickets. The history of this republic is very interesting and this jail housed those that fought for the country. The jail itself is very eerie and you will hear a lot of stories about the prisoners and why they were sent to the prison to begin with. The tour takes about an hour and then you are free to visit the museum to read more facts as well as see artifacts.
