The Book of Kells

Within Trinity College, the mythical Book of Kells is on display. This world famous book is lavishly decorated and is a great sight to see. In addition, the other artifacts on exhibit are interesting, and the long gallery (the long library at the end of the self guided tour) itself is pretty impressive.

When visiting, be careful of any cruise ships that may be in town that day. When we arrived shortly after they opened, there was a line of several hundred people waiting to get in. If there is a cruise ship in town, plan on doing this late in the day. If you arrive within an hour of closing, they'll also give you admission for half price, and you shouldn't need more than an hour in there.
