How the Go City Dublin Pass works
The Dublin Pass is sold by Go City, and it starts the first time you scan it at a sight. Go City sells three kinds of pass.
- All-Inclusive: as many sights as you like for a set number of days. Each day ends at midnight.
- Essentials: 3 sights from a list, within 30 days of the first visit.
- Explorer: a number of sights you choose, within 30 days.
Booking your slots
Many sights need no booking, but some must be booked ahead. For the Guinness Storehouse, pass holders book a time slot at reservations.gocity.com.
Go City's own price page did not load for us, so check its prices there before you buy.
Kilmainham Gaol and the Dublin Pass
Kilmainham Gaol says third-party tickets are not valid there. Book on the gaol's own website. Tours go on sale 28 days ahead, and more tickets for the day come out from 09:15.
Is the Dublin Pass worth it?
The Dublin Pass is worth it only if you visit two or three paid sights a day. A one-day pass starts from €79. The Guinness Storehouse, St Patrick's and EPIC cost about €60 together at their own prices.
St Patrick's Cathedral's own page says the passes come in 1- to 5-day versions from €69. Prices change by date, so compare on the day you buy.
For what a whole Dublin trip costs, with or without a pass, see the 2026 Dublin Travel Cost Study.
If you'd rather skip the pass, our National Museum of Ireland guide covers a museum day on your own.
What the pass doesn't cover
The pass does not cover public transport. It includes one day on a hop-on hop-off bus, and nothing for Dublin Bus, the Luas or the DART.
Dublin Castle is closed to visitors until January 2027, so it adds nothing to a pass this winter.
Kilmainham Gaol refuses third-party tickets, so you can't use the pass there.

Planning a Dublin Pass itinerary
Plan the day around your Guinness Storehouse slot, then add two or three nearby sights. Start early, as the listing suggests.
- Book the Guinness Storehouse slot first, and allow at least 90 minutes there.
- Check the pass's digital guide for which other sights need a booking.
- Use the one-day hop-on hop-off bus to move between sights.
- Leave Kilmainham Gaol out of the pass day: book it on the gaol's own site.
