With over 30 attractions included in the price of the Pass there is no need to carry cash or rummage for money – so keep your wallet in your pocket, save money and use it to discover Dublin. Many of our visitor attractions are within easy walking distance of each other. However, they do have a discounted additional transport options around the city and county.

The first time you use it whether it's when you arrive and take the transport link from the airport or when you first visit an attraction or cafe, it becomes activated and one day constitutes one calendar day and not a 24 hour period, so to get full use of it try to use it the first time at the start of the day, not towards the end.
