We stopped by Glasnevin Cemetery on a whim because someone told us that Gravediggers had the best pint in Dublin. It was gorgeous. It made my soul happy to wander through the cemetery. We didn’t take a tour but just meandered to wherever felt right. It was amazing seeing all of the history and love in this place. Would definitely go again.
I can’t recommend this tour enough! It was easily the best and most interesting tour I have ever done. Our guide Ariel made everything super entertaining even for someone who is not Irish. I learned so much about history while listening to each of the stories. Moreover, the cemetery is really good preserved and it’s really worth visiting if you are planning a visit to the Botanical Garden.
So we came here just after visiting the Botanical gardens next door also free entry. This place is very relaxing and just huge for a cemetery, it is very well kept and there are plenty of hidden gems. The tower has some great views from the top, there are a lot of stairs and that is to be expected just don't b surprised when your legs are hurting the next day! I would say give this place a good hour or two to fully appreciate its beauty.
Very well maintained historical for Dublin cementry. This is probably the first time I visited a cemetery as a tourist and it was definitely strange. It is near the Botanical garden which in my humble opinion is far better place for a walk.
My biggest criticism is the map of the cemetery being €2.50 and it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack for some of the graves. Managed to get most but was almost driven demented trying to find some. The map needs photos of the graves and there needs to be better markers for visitors. Cafe wasn’t too bag and toilets were clean. Parking is €2 and it’s across the road at the St Paul’s side where Luke Kelly, Christy Brown and Liam Whelan are. It must have cost a fortune for the ornate headstones and memorials as they’re fabulous. I think I expected flowers on key graves but there really weren’t many. Some parts are really old and the headstones are being restored or secured. Lovely that they take that approach rather than pulling the stones down and lying them flat. It felt quite safe inside even though there weren’t many people about. It’s almost like a destination cemetery with the cafe, tours etc. Go out one gate and you’ll get to Kavanagh’s Gravedigger’s Arms. Go out the bottom gate and you’re at the National Botanic Gardens. You can tour the graveyard free but there are some paid options. Lovely columbarium area with intricate tiles as works of art. The chapel looks fabulous outside but not on the inside. I was expecting an ornate church. St Paul’s section on the other side of the road is more your standard cemetery.
Excellent tour. Our guide Irial was well informed, engaging and entertaining. The 90 minute tour flew by, we could have spent all day exploring the history in Glasnevin. We also visited the round tower which offers fantastic views of Dublin. The staff at the information desk were very friendly and helpful when we were arrived.
Couldn't recommend this tour enough, weather you're an expert historian or someone with just a bit of interest in Irish history. The tour could easily be 3 hours long but unfortunately only 1 and a half hours long. Big shout out to our tour guide Caitlín White from Tipp who not only was extremely friendly and knowledgeable but had the patience to regularly answer less important questions from kids
I went on the tour today in Glasnevin and it was absolutely superb! I went on the tour with a guy called Daniel, he was extremely informative, enthusiastic and friendly! I would have went on longer if the tour allowed me to. As a local, I found that I have came out learning way more than I ever anticipated. I always wanted to learn more about Glasnevin as I live down the road and always passed by, and I’m more than delighted I took the time out to visit a local gem. Daniel really knows his stuff and I think I learned more in the hour and a half than I did in school! The museum was interesting too, highly recommend! Friendly staff, great location, makes me proud to be Irish. Five stars from me!
Nice, peaceful. At the tourist centre you can buy tixkers for a guided tour if you want to.
The official tour is an amazing insight into the the history of Dublin City and the generational Irish freedom movement. Our guide, Gráinne, was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining. The 2.30pm tour started with an actor re-enacting the eulogy given by Padraig Pearse at the funeral of Jeremiah O’Donovan-Rossa, which was particularly moving.
