Incredibly beautiful! So glad we were able to go! Be sure to pick up your headset. They forgot to remind us and we walked around a bit before I went to see if there was a cost. There wasn't. Even my teen boys loved the audio tour.

Wow, just wow! Get the tour or audio guide. We spent about 2 hours here. I liked it much more than St Patrick.

It's probably one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Ireland.

Very nice, must visit when in Dublin.

This medieval church is mind-blowing and will leave you speechless after visiting. There are still many old elements that make this place a must when visiting Dublin. The fact that they still have the old tiles on the floor or that a mummified cat and rat trapped in one of the church pipe's organ. The crypt is also a fascinating location you need to visit. You can even dress up in some old traditional Irish clothing. A shop is there to offer a great variety of options. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and always ready to answer any questions. It's an absolute must to visit when in Dublin.

Truly a slice of heaven on earth! I've experience Evensongs at St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, York Cathedral, Sagrada Familia, and more. Christ Church Cathedral choir ranks high on the list.

Gorgeous atmosphere, worth the visit. Great audio guide.

Thanks to all in the Christchurch Cathedral for an inspiring visit. Particular thanks to Deidre who was so welcoming and friendly. We spent well over an hour admiring this beautiful building, accompanied by a really interesting and informative audio guide that helped put the story of the cathedral in context through words and the wonderful music of the Christchurch Choir.

Beautiful architecture, recommended by our tour guide for further exploration after our tour of the city. Did not disappoint. So much history in the building it is difficult to take it all in. Worth spending hours walking around and experiencing the place. The self guided tours were excellent and allowed you to absorb everything at your own pace.
