Top 15 Museum Visits in Dublin

1.Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum Experience Dublin

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,112 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $26Our pick

A small-group, guided walk through Dublin’s Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum in Temple Bar, with studio access, memorabilia, and hands-on music time.

“Overall great tour and lots of great behind the scenes info. Would have given 5 stars, not had two minor issues: 1. Just some unfortunate luck, the venue was hosting a boxing bout that evening, so our tour was cut short and we were not able to see the venue. 2. This is at Viator, they advertised this as a small tour with no more than four, but our group had 12 others! We still had a good time, but I felt cheated on the private tour aspect.”

“My husband and I chose to visit on a whim without reading anything about the museum, so we had no idea what to expect but nothing could have prepared us for this experience. It was nothing short of fantastic! This museum is unlike any I have ever visited in my life. It is an extensive collection of fascinating items and objects in a surprisingly small but appropriate space. There is so much to take in and you could spend hours just looking at all the items. Your visit to the museum luckily is guided by an incredibly talented storyteller. Our guide Emma was hilarious and gave not just a tour,…”

“Quiggs, our guide was very informative & funny! A great experience to see many places & not worrying about driving. The only things I recommend that aren’t told beforehand- bring money to tip the guide & driver at the end of the tour. It’s not mandatory, but it’s a long day & they do a great job. Also, being cash if you want to ride the shuttle at Giants Causeway. It’s a long walk- especially for people w back or knee problems and they don’t take cards. They do have charging ports on the bus, so bring a cord. It’s a long day w lots of stuff photo ops and…”
