We took the guided tour by a French student (Joseph): great! This guided tour only cost us one euro more than the entrance to the library (€14). This guided tour stops at the entrance of the library. To visit the library, it seemed indispensable to take an audioguide to understand something: on the other hand 5 €/person, it is too expensive.

The college campus is beautiful. You can take a college walking tour. Will cost about 15 euro. Go to the Book of Kelly and old library. Will cost 14 euros. A bit steep in my opinion. Or take a self guided tour. There is a college shop as well near the old library where you can buy Trinity branded merchandise.

Trinity College is a very historic, very active place. Was there when some graduations were taking place so it was quite busy. The grounds are lovely to walk, but it is probably best to do a walking tour for a better understanding.

Looked into some of the classrooms and walked around the campus. Review based on the architecture and campus. Beautiful! The school is doing a good job at maintaining the grounds and old and historical buildings.

Great place to walk around as a tourist. The campus is beautiful, especially down the west end. Be sure to stop off in the museam building, for some stunning marble work. The old library is also worth a look at. It costs money to get in, but well worth it.
