Dublin may not be the most expensive city in Europe, but it’s definitely not cheap. If you’re visiting Dublin and on a tight budget then that doesn’t mean you have to miss out, because many of the best sites in Dublin are FREE! Below is a list of my top 15 favourite free places to visit while in Dublin, Ireland.
1. Glasnevin Cemetery
Finglas Rd, Dublin 11
Glasnevin Cemetery is very large, so it’s easy to spend several hours wandering around taking it all in. It has been open since the first burial in 1832 and is the resting place of many famous Irish people. There are also 800,000 unmarked graves of people who lost their lives in the Great Famine of the 1840’s and later during the cholera epidemic. People of all religions are buried in Glasnevin cemetery and continue to do so, so please be respectful of any burial ceremonies that may be taking place during your visit.
Glasnevin Cemetery is located on Finglas Road in the Dublin suburb of Glasnevin. It’s a long walk from the city centre, but it can easily be reached by taking the Dublin city bus number 40 or 140 from O’Connell Street to its entrance on Finglas Road. Both onsite and street parking is available. The cemetery is open daily from 9am to 6pm in winter, or 9pm in summer.
For a fee, you can also choose to visit the museum which is open daily from 10am to 5pm. You can also attend a tour or go on a self guided tour using a map and/or audio device. These tours suit those interested in Irish history and can be booked through the Glasnevin Cemetery website.
