Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin

Very interesting attraction in Dublin. We got there early in the day which I recommend. By the time we were ready to go the Cathedral was getting packed with tourists and school groups. However, in the morning there were only a few groups walking around, it felt like we had the Cathedral to ourselves. The Cathedral is much more than just a church. They have many exhibits set up, describing Ireland's history. Definitely worth stopping by. It is self-guided so you can take as much time as you want.

I didn't actually go in but spent time around the grounds and it was nice. There was a big line and no price posted but heard someone say it was 6.50 who walked out. We saw a lot of churches so decided to skip going in but hang out in the park beside. It was really nice with great flowers. You can get some some good shots of the cathedral as well.

This cathedral is stunning. I don't remember there being a few the first time I went, but there is one now. But it's reasonable. It's odd for a church to charge a fee but this one is about restoration I was told. It's beautiful and worth it.

Such a rich Irish history source. Beautiful choir singing while touring around. Quiet places for reflection too.

Fair warning there is a 6.50€ entrance fee, which is unheard of in all of my travels. As a Catholic it's tough to wrap my head around that this church charges to enter rather than working off of donations. That aside for the moment. The place is historic and beautiful and can be walked through and enjoyed in 30 minutes or less. The gift shop is in the back but still within view of the altar - kinda odd. Another issue besides having to pay to get in, just in case you didn't see that earlier, ;) are the bathrooms. If you identify as a man, their men's bathroom is as big as a thimble. Open the door and you have to maneuver your legs to get in and around the toilet. It's super tight and playing the game of Operation with my legs and the porcelain toilet isn't so appealing - when paying 6.50€ - to get in the church. :)
