Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Tiqets and GetYourGuide rows advise checking final availability, fees and refund terms at checkout; compare the final total and inclusions before paying.
  • The listed third-party 2-hour historical walking tour does not state in its seller row that GPO Museum admission is included. Verify the exact route and inclusions at checkout.
  • Priority-access wording does not identify which queues are skipped. Check the voucher details; security or other access controls may still apply.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    The GPO Museum is located within the iconic General Post Office on O'Connell Street, which remains a fully functioning postal hub. To visit the exhibition, enter through the main O'Connell Street portico; once inside the grand postal hall, you will find the dedicated museum admissions desk immediately on your right-hand side. Do not bring large luggage or backpacks, as there are no storage lockers on-site and security staff may refuse entry to oversized items. Note that while the post office hall may have different hours, the museum is strictly closed on Sundays and public holidays, with the last entry permitted at 4:00 PM.

  • Price

    The supplied rows show €15 for the Official site Online Adult, Tiqets GPO Museum and GetYourGuide GPO Museum entry listings. City-pass rows show €69 for the Go City Explorer Pass Dublin covering 3–7 attractions and €79 for the Dublin Pass covering 40+ attractions plus a hop-on hop-off bus. Compare the final checkout total, availability and inclusions before paying.

  • Discounts

    The supplied offer rows list adult entry products but do not specify child, student, senior, disability, companion or family eligibility. Check the official booking flow for current reduced or free categories, proof requirements and any booking restrictions; do not assume a partner listing includes them.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my GPO Museum ticket or is a mobile version acceptable?

Digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted; simply present the QR code at the museum admissions desk located inside the main post office hall on O'Connell Street.

What is the cancellation policy for GPO Museum tickets in 2026?

Official tickets are strictly non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled once purchased. However, booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often provides a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund, which is recommended for flexible travel plans.

Are there lockers for large bags or suitcases at the GPO?

No, there are no storage facilities or lockers on-site. Large baggage, suitcases, and backpacks are prohibited for security reasons, so you should use external luggage services at nearby Connolly Station or on Abbey Street.

Can I use my OPW Heritage Card for free entry to the GPO Museum?

No, the GPO Museum is operated by An Post rather than the Office of Public Works (OPW), so the Heritage Card is not valid for admission. You must purchase a separate ticket or use a valid Dublin Pass.

Do children and infants need a ticket even if they qualify for free entry?

Yes, children under 6 (ages 0–5) enter for free but still require a 'Child (0-5)' ticket to be added to your online booking to ensure the museum remains within its safe capacity limits.

Is the GPO Museum included in the Dublin Pass or Go City Dublin?

Yes, the GPO Museum is a participating attraction on the Dublin Pass; you typically do not need to pre-book a time slot, but you must present your valid digital pass at the ticket desk for validation.

Is an audio guide included in the ticket price?

A self-guided audio tour is available for free by scanning a QR code with your own smartphone upon arrival; if you prefer a physical headset rental, there is a small additional fee of approximately €2.00.

What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?

Entry is permitted at the time specified on your booking; while staff will try to accommodate late arrivals in the next available window, entry is subject to capacity and is not guaranteed during peak May 2026 visiting hours.
