About This Attraction
Dublin Castle has been at the center of Irish life since King John of England ordered its erection in 1204. Standing over much earlier structures including a Viking fortress and, possibly, a Gaelic ringfort, it forms the social and political heart of historic Dublin.
Visiting Dublin Castle, you’ll get to see the majestic State Apartments, the Viking ruins underneath, and the ancient Black Pool where the river Liffey meets its underground tributary the River Poddle.
The seat of British administration in Ireland for 700 years, this glorious collection of buildings recounts the history of Dublin like no other.

This was one of the most wonderful tours in Dublin! We had an exceptional guide, Fergus, who is incredibly knowledgeable about this tour and EVERYTHING in Ireland! He is also on an architechtural committee, so he is so knowledgeable. The book of Kells will be closed as of sometime next year in order...
Terrible, we never found tour guide & when we tried to enter site, they wouldn’t honor our prepaid tickets. I contacted company about refund..still waiting for reply. Don’t use this company.
