Planning a trip to Dublin? Expect rich history, lively pubs, coastal breezes and a compact city that’s perfect for easy exploring. From the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin Castle and hop-on hop-off tours, there’s plenty to pack into a weekend or longer stay. Go City Dublin keeps it simple with two flexible options and access to 35+ attractions and experiences. Whether you like to plan every hour or allow yourself to drift between tastings, tours and museums, you’ll find a pass that matches your pace and saves you money.
The basics: what is the Go City Dublin pass?
It’s a smart sightseeing pass that lets you visit multiple Dublin attractions for one price. Choose between the All-Inclusive Pass or the Explorer Pass to suit how you like to travel.
All-Inclusive Pass
- How it works: choose a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5‑day pass and visit as many included attractions as you like on each active day.
- Best for: energetic days in the city, first-time visitors, and anyone keen to stack tours, tastings and museums.
- Why you’ll love it: perfect for maximizing value on busy days; tap into a broad lineup of Dublin activities and attractions without doing the math for every stop; great for squeezing in that extra tour before dinner.
Explorer Pass
- How it works: choose the number of attractions you want to visit (pick from 3 to 7 choices) and you’ll have 30 days to use them from first activation.
- Best for: relaxed itineraries, short breaks, repeat visitors and travelers who prefer quality over quantity.
- Why you’ll love it: total flexibility to spread visits over your trip; only pay for the amount of sightseeing you want; easy to pair with long lunches and coastal strolls.
Both options are fully digital, live in the Go City app and typically save a chunk compared with buying separate tickets.

What’s included?
With 35+ attractions, tours and tastings, there’s something for every culture buff, foodie and whiskey-curious traveler. A few favorites...
Pints, pours and the taste of Dublin
Discover Ireland’s famous exports at the Guinness Storehouse, where a multi-sensory journey ends with a perfectly poured pint and skyline views from the Gravity Bar. Follow up with Jameson Distillery Bow St. for a guided whiskey experience on the historic site where the brand began. Still thirsty for knowledge? Teeling Whiskey Distillery showcases a working craft distillery in the heart of the Liberties.
Time travel and historic landmarks
Step into the story of Dublin at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, an award-winning, interactive deep-dive into the people who left Ireland and changed the world. Wander the State Apartments and medieval undercroft at Dublin Castle to see layers of history in one compact complex. Then cross the river to explore Viking and medieval Dublin at Dublinia and pair it with nearby Christ Church Cathedral for soaring architecture, a vast crypt and centuries of music and worship.
Museums with big stories
The Little Museum of Dublin distills the city’s modern history into witty, guide-led tours packed with artifacts and anecdotes. Walk the decks of the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship & Famine Museum to understand the human side of 19th‑century emigration. Round things out at the GPO Museum for a close-up look at the Easter Rising inside one of Dublin’s most famous buildings.
Top tours
Get your bearings aboard a hop-on hop-off bus tour that loops past major sights with engaging commentary and easy stops. See the best of the dramatic Dublin coastline on a picturesque bus tour out to the charming seaside village of Howth. Prefer walking? Join a guided city tour and let a local unpack neighborhoods, legends and the kind of tips only Dubliners know.
Plan ahead
- Cluster your sightseeing. Dublin is walkable, but grouping attractions by area saves time. For example, pair the Guinness Storehouse with Teeling in the Liberties, or EPIC with the Jeanie Johnston on the docks.
- Start early on big days. If you’re using the All-Inclusive Pass, front-load mornings with popular spots, then add a tour or two in the afternoon.
- Check opening hours and last entry times in the app. Many museums have earlier final entries than you’d expect; a quick glance avoids near-misses.
- Book tastings and distillery tours in advance. Time slots can fill up, especially on weekends and during peak season. The app shows which attractions require a reservation and links straight to booking pages.
- Hold a couple of wildcard ideas. If rain rolls in, pivot to a museum; if blue skies appear, jump on a tour or head for the river. Flexibility is key.
Reservations
Reservations
Some Dublin highlights need advance booking, especially guided tours, distillery experiences and timed entries with limited capacity. You’ll find a ‘reservation required’ tag in the app alongside step-by-step instructions and links. Book as early as you can for popular weekend slots, arrive a few minutes before your time, and bring your pass in the app for quick scanning. If your plans change, cancel via the provider’s confirmation email to free the spot for someone else.
What’s the main advantage of Go City Dublin passes?

- Instant mobile tickets in a single app with maps, opening hours and booking links.

Is buying a pass worth it?
Is buying a pass worth it?
We think so. Go City Dublin bundles the city’s greatest hits with the freedom to explore at your own pace. The All-Inclusive Pass rewards full days of sightseeing with excellent value, while the Explorer Pass is perfect when you want to cherry-pick favorites and linger over long lunches. Add simple mobile entry, handy planning tools and a lineup that ranges from whiskey tastings to time travel (well, almost), and you’ve got a smarter way to see Dublin for less.
For example, if you’re planning a few bucket-list experiences—say the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Castle and the zoo —you’ll typically come out ahead. Prices for top attractions can run upwards of €30 individually, so it doesn’t take long for the pass to pay for itself.
Let’s say you get a 3-day All-Inclusive Pass and visit:
Day 1
- EPIC The Irish Immigration Museum (€21)
- Jeanie Johnston Tallship & Famine Museum (€15)
- Museum of Literature Ireland (€14.50)
- Dublinia (€16)
Day 2
- Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour (€37)

Day 3:

- The Teeling Whiskey Distillery (€20)

That’s €226.50 worth of tickets on a €139 pass. That equals serious savings of €87.50 or around 38%!*
