Before You Book Kilmainham Gaol: Every Cost, and What's Worth It

Kilmainham Gaol, where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were held and executed, is one of Dublin's cheapest major sights and one of the hardest to get into. It's visited only on a guided tour, tickets are released in small batches, and resellers sell tours of Dublin that include it. Most of the options sound worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive one to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to get a ticket, whether that's booked a month ahead or found at the last minute.
