Trinity College

All the buildings were closed at the time of year we visited (between Christmas and New Year) but the grounds/outside of the buildings were worth a look.

Take the guided tour and go around lunchtime when there are fewer tourists.

Queue early to see the book of kells and Long library

Book if you want to see the book of Kells

Best to book if you want to enter. Could not be bothered to Queue

I waited for about twenty minutes (thankfully under cover!) for the Book of Kells/Long Room exhibition, which is what I was expecting. I believe you can buy advance tickets online and get in straight away, but only at a certain time. The exhibition costs something like 14 euros, which personally I found a little bit steep for what you get. There's some information on aspects of the famous book. Don't take pictures of the thing itself though - they get really anal about it due to "copyright" (?). The Long Room was the real highlight to me, it really is a sight to behold. The college itself is scenic, but quite maze-like in that way that only university campuses seem to be. A bit disorientating.
