A must see for a visit to Dublin! We added on the Trinity Trails guided walking tour beforehand too - we did a tour of the campus firstly, which was so gorgeous. It took about 45 minutes. Our tour guide then dropped us over to the Old Library to start the Book of Kells Experience. You do this part yourself so it’s not guided, and there is SO much to see. The Long Room was out of this world. Just wow!
