Hi there!

How you want to explore Ireland is up to you: a multi-day tour, a road-trip or explore cities DIY with the inclusion of day trips... the possibilities are endless! If you are considering exploring the island independently, investing in one of the visitor passes available could be worth it, especially if you plan to spend time in cities, use public transport or visit a few selected attractions.

Here, we'll take a closer look at some of the most popular options :

1. Dublin Pass by Go City: The Dublin Pass is your key to make the most of your time in Dublin (litterally). With this pass, you gain access to over 30 top attractions, including the Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College, and Dublin Castle. Plus, it provides unlimited rides on the hop-on-hop-off buses, making it a convenient way to explore the city at your own pace. They have two options, one with selected and another with unlimited attractions. Consider what you’d like to see and do to see if it’s worth it for you.
