What you'll do

Located right in the city center and standing magnificently on the edge of the Liffey, the Custom House Visitor Center is your go-to for all things Irish history.

Built and completed in 1791 after a ten-year construction period, this spectacular neo-classical building stood the test of time as the city grew around it.

A visit to this museum is a modern history lover's dream; the exhibitions delve into the building, burning and restoration of the Custom House, while also encompassing the history that was unfolding throughout its existence.

Explore the multi-sensory exhibit, with audio benches, visual displays and interactive screens as you learn all about Ireland's fight for independence: covering everything from the Act of Union to the War of Independence.

Dublin, the capital and largest city of Ireland, has many great attractions and sights to offer its visitors. For those looking for authentic experiences, Go City® offers a great variety of attractions at one low price. Don't miss the iconic Custom House Dublin, which is a grand neoclassical building located on the north bank of River Liffey in Dublin's city center. The building's stunning architecture also makes it a popular spot for sightseeing and taking photographs.
