Well worth a visit. So full ofi information on the history of both the building and lots of other famous families/ people. Good audiobook guide. You could s pen day at least 1-2 hours here so at price good value and a must see in Dublin

If there is a way to give a better rating than excellent, I will readily do it for the guided tour my husband and I joined today. Our guide was Nora, who introduced herself as a volunteer in the Cathedral. Nora obviously was fighting a cold but carried on with her straightforward, substantive and profound narrative on the interesting aspects of the history of the Cathedral. She invited and answered questions with wit and humour. Before doing the tour, she warmly welcomed all of us, even asking which counties we are coming from. At the end of the tour, she thanked us for visiting the Cathedral. She made us feel good by saying that the fee we paid will help the upkeep of the historic structure for the benefit of the next generation. Thank you, Nora. You’re awesome.

A wonderful small cathedral with some very interesting points to see. We had a tour (which was free) and very informative - our guide, Mary, was really knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. e9 admission does seem like a lot (especially as this cathedral is quite small by British/European standards) but it's worth it and it funds incredible restoration work.

Beautiful historic landmark. Came here at opening on a Sunday morning and it was 9 euro admission (credit cards and cash accepted). They offer audio guides in various languages that’s included in the entry fee; there weren’t any guided tours being offered when we went. We spent 2 hours going to each of the sites (labeled with a number). There was active service happening in a partioned off section. Afterwards, you could walk around the park (that’s free) and get some really pretty views. There’s a kids playground outside as well.

If you had to visit only one cathedral in Ireland, I'd probably opt for Saint Patrick's. Lots of history and an absolutely stunning interior. Took the free guided tour, which provided a lot of fascinating information. The grounds are nice too and they have a little market on Sundays which is fun to browse.

beautiful cathedral both on the outside, I loved the outside architecture and the park, and the very impressive inside with beautiful stained glass windows, statues and a wonderful aisle. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and I would like to compliment the guide Antóin, very good, very informative and pleasant, I really enjoyed the tour which was full of information and anecdotes. I really recommend going there for anyone in the area.

Upon arriving to Dublin for a six day winter getaway on my own I left my hostel very early in the morning to start to explore this city. I ended up arriving to Saint Patrick's after 10, bought my entrance ticket (9 euros) and was lucky enough to run into a guided tour in the cathedral starting at 10:30 (may be one in every hour, no extra fees for this! - but also, you get a headphone for your ticket automatically). And this is why I am writing this review, there was a lady called Maria, maybe in her 60s, the guide to offer the tour and SHE WAS FANTASTIC! I absolutely loved listening to her, she put together the tour so perfectly offering a deep insight through the building of the cathedral and every interesting thing in it into also the city of Dublin, and the history of the Irish island altogether - I really needed no more for my forthcoming days in Ireland. I absolutely LOVE remembering Maria, and I will always be very very grateful for my experience there on that day! Greetings from Hungary

A historic cathedral in the heart of Dublin founded in the 12th century as a Roman Catholic house of worship (now Church of Ireland). There are numerous old monuments dotted throughout the place. Be sure to look out for the very old flags/standards above you as you walk around. The floor tiles are fantastic, as are the wood carvings . Jonathan Swift, the famed author, was Dean of St. Patrick's and is buried here. Just outside, in the adjacent park, by the gates next to the cathedral, is a spot (which has a designated marker) where St. Patrick baptized his first converts to Christianity.

Essential to any Dublin trip. Very interesting and beautiful cathedral. They have an audio guide, but I just walked around with the map, there was a lot of informative signs around so I learnt a lot of the history of the cathedral and of Dublin. Staff are very friendly and entry fee is reasonable

We did the self guided tour with the hand held audio device to hear all of the information. We enjoyed being able to move at our own pace and be able to wait for people to move for better photos. It has beautiful architecture to view and is very peaceful. If you have time, go back for their evensong service, as it gives you a chance to hear the choir.
