Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin

Historic. Timeless. Peaceful. If you enjoy architecture, faith, history, community, art, or simply great skyline views of the city, go here. The self-guided tour can be as in-depth as you want it to be. The baroque style of this unique London icon continues to marvel and captivate tourists and locals alike. Pro-tips: book online in advance to save a few £££. Also, wear comfy shoes to be able to climb the hundreds of spiraling stairs to the top of the dome.

Cool, big, old church. Tallest church (not cathedral) in Ireland with a 141 foot high spire. Founded in 1191. Entrance fee was a little steep for a self-guided tour of 8€ for adults, 7€ for students. Worth stopping to pay respects to St Patrick (even if from the outside, to save on entrance fee). Beautiful grounds to sit and enjoy. Small playground for kids to burn off some energy.

Was at a concert of classical music tonight in St Patrick's Cathedral, absolutely fabulous performance ,outstanding talent and fantastic acoustics. Aside of the concert I would highly recommend a visit to this historic, graceful beautiful building. There is really a lot to take in and you won't see an hour or two going just browsing around. Highly recommend.

Great place to visit if you are interested in architecture or the more historic side of Dublin. A little tricky to access for wheelchair users but IS fully accessible (the path around the building is very old uneven cobblestone). Can be quite busy at times but a great way to spend an hour or so and since Dublin is a compact city, it's very easy to add this to your day.

An interesting visit for the enquiring mind, and perhaps a reflection on the modern demands placed on religious buildings as well. As well as the conventional features of a cathedral, St. Patrick's is also filled with history and artifacts from more turbulent times, such as the door that coined the term 'chance your arm' and a supposedly mobile pulpit used by Jonathan Swift during sermons. Lots to see and learn even for the non-religious from the knowledgeable tour guides, although I did find the presence of a gift shop within the main floor of the cathedral a rather unusual feature...
