Not sure which ticket to choose?
For most visitors, the standard entry ticket provides the best value as it includes a multi-language audio guide for a self-paced tour of Ireland's largest cathedral. If you plan to visit other major sites like the Guinness Storehouse or Dublin Castle, the Dublin Pass is a more cost-effective bundle than buying individual tickets.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main visitor entrance is located at the South Porch on St. Patrick's Close. While pre-booked tickets allow you to bypass the onsite ticket purchase queue, all guests must join the same line for security bag checks and digital ticket scanning. Large suitcases and backpacks are not permitted inside as there are no onsite storage facilities or cloakrooms. To avoid the heaviest crowds, aim for a weekday morning slot and always verify the daily service schedule; sightseeing access typically closes 30–60 minutes before scheduled services like Choral Evensong, during which the cathedral is reserved for worship only.
- Price: Official adult admission is benchmarked at €10.00 for direct online bookings and €11.50 for walk-up entry. Partner prices of €11.50 (like those from Tiqets or GetYourGuide) align with the standard gate rate but offer the advantage of flexible 24-hour cancellation and streamlined mobile management, which are generally not available for official direct-purchase tickets. Free entry is provided for worshipers, children under 6, and visitors with disabilities including one carer.
- Discounts: As of May 2026, official online sightseeing rates are €10.00 for adults (13–59), with reduced €9.00 tickets for seniors (60+) and students with valid ID. Infants and children under 6 enter free of charge, while children aged 6–12 require a €5.00 ticket; all visitors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Families can utilize a bundle for €30.00 covering two adults and up to three children. Note that walk-up prices at the gate are typically €1.50 higher per ticket. Entry for worship or scheduled services is always free, though sightseeing and photography are strictly prohibited during these times. Visitors with disabilities and one accompanying carer are eligible for free admission upon arrival. Free guided tours are often available Monday to Saturday (typically at 10:30 and 14:30), though these are subject to volunteer availability and not guaranteed.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or are mobile vouchers accepted?
Digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted at the entrance; there is no need to print your confirmation as long as the QR code is legible.
Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?
No, all visitors must pass through a mandatory security screening regardless of ticket type; 'skip-the-line' specifically refers to bypassing the physical ticket-purchase queue at the onsite office.
Can I get a refund if my travel plans change?
Official tickets are generally non-refundable, so booking via partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended if you require a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.
Are there restricted times for sightseeing due to church services?
Yes, as an active place of worship, tourist access is restricted during Sunday services and special liturgical events; always check the daily schedule before booking a mid-day slot.
Is there a place to store large bags or suitcases?
The Cathedral does not have a cloakroom or luggage storage facilities, and large bags are strictly prohibited for security reasons; use a city-center luggage locker before arriving.
How do free tickets for children and students work?
Children under 5 usually enter free without a pre-booked ticket, while students and seniors must present a valid ID to use a reduced-price ticket purchased online or at the gate.
