Buying guide
Not sure which ticket to choose?
For high-intensity sightseeing, the All-Inclusive Dublin Pass offers the best value for visiting 40+ attractions over consecutive days. If you prefer a relaxed pace or have a specific shortlist of 3-7 sites, the Explorer Pass is more cost-effective and flexible. For those seeking historical depth rather than just entry tickets, a guided walking tour provides context that digital passes lack.

Provides the highest potential savings on expensive entries like Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery when used consecutively.

Good to know before your visit
Entrance
QR codes replace tickets but not security lines. For the Guinness Storehouse, pass holders must use the specific 'Pass Holder' link on the official Guinness website to book a time slot; using the standard booking flow will require payment. For Jameson, use the Go City portal. Book of Kells and Kilmainham Gaol are excluded and require separate bookings weeks ahead. The pass is valid only for Big Bus (maroon/cream), not green DoDublin or red CitySightseeing buses. At Saint Patrick’s, use the 'Pre-paid' lane.
Discounts
Adult (16+) and Child (5–15) tiers apply; under 5s are usually free but need 'Free' timed-entry reservations at major sites. No Senior/Student variants exist; check if individual concession tickets are cheaper. Pass holders must use the digital portal to book Guinness and Jameson time slots, as May walk-ins are rare. Note: Dublin Castle State Apartments are closed May 5–Dec 2026 for the EU Presidency; gardens remain open, but interior tours are suspended.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book time slots for attractions if I have a Dublin City Card?
Yes, major sites like the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, and certain guided food tours require advanced reservations even with a pass. Use the Go City reservation portal or app to book these slots at least 72 hours in advance to ensure availability.
Does the Dublin Pass include public transport like the Luas or city buses?
No, the Dublin Pass includes a 24-hour Hop-on Hop-off bus tour but does not cover regular public transport. For unlimited travel on city buses, Luas trams, and DART trains, you should purchase a separate Leap Visitor Card.
How do I activate my Dublin City Card?
The card activates automatically at the moment of your first scan at an attraction or on the Hop-on Hop-off bus. Once activated, it remains valid for consecutive calendar days; for example, a 2-day pass first used on a Monday afternoon will expire at midnight on Tuesday.
Can I visit the same attraction twice with one pass?
No, Dublin City Cards typically allow only one entry per included attraction. If you wish to return to a site like the Book of Kells or the Zoo on a different day, you will need to purchase a separate individual ticket.
Is the Dublin Pass worth it for children?
Children under 5 often receive free entry at most Dublin attractions, so they usually do not require a pass. For children aged 5–15, calculate the total of individual entry fees for your planned stops to see if the child-rate pass offers a genuine discount.
What happens if an attraction is sold out on the day I visit?
A city card does not guarantee entry if an attraction is at capacity. Popular sites like the Guinness Storehouse frequently sell out days in advance; always check the pass's reservation portal immediately after purchase to secure your preferred times.
Can I get a refund if I don't use the pass?
For passes purchased on or after May 1, 2026, most sellers offer a 90-day refund window from the date of purchase, provided the pass has not been activated or used. Once a pass is scanned at its first attraction, it becomes non-refundable.
