What people say
Raven Patzke
"Dublin Castle was reserved for the seat of British power for 700 years. It now continues to serve as a government complex as well as a major tourist attraction (duh). You can walk around in here for free, but if you’d like to see some of the other buildings, you will need to pay for a guided tour."

Guided ticket tours are also available for purchase the day of. We opted to walk around the grounds and enjoy the architecture without doing an official tour. "
