A visit to Trinity College is one of Dublin’s most famous experiences, especially to see the world-famous Book of Kells and the breathtaking Long Room library.
The Book of Kells Experience is a brilliant way to blend history, storytelling, and visual art into one unforgettable outing. This self-guided tour (with a free audio guide in multiple languages) takes you through two buildings: the atmospheric Old Library—home to the iconic Long Room and the “Gaia” installation—and the dynamic Red Pavilion, where immersive digital exhibitions like Book of Kells 360 and The Long Room Reimagined bring medieval craftsmanship to life. The intricately illustrated manuscript is over 1,000 years old and while it might appeal more to older children, the sheer wow-factor of the Long Room — with its towering wooden shelves and Harry Potter vibes — will captivate almost everyone. Families can also enjoy a wander around the cobblestoned campus, soaking up the buzz of student life in the middle of the city.
