Oh you think this is just a stunning church Google the dark history of it wink wink!! - Stepping inside Christ Church was like stepping into another time. The atmosphere is breathtaking — the soaring arches, the play of light through the stained glass, and the stillness that seems to hum with something greater than words. It’s not just beautiful, it’s deeply spiritual. You feel the history in the stone, the prayers woven into the air, and the presence of countless souls who have stood there before you. But when the doors close and the crowds drift away, that’s when Christ Church truly comes alive. The surface beauty gives way to whispered stories — of monks and kings, of faith and betrayal, of relics hidden in shadowed corners and echoes in the crypt below. It becomes more than a cathedral; it becomes a keeper of secrets, a storyteller of the past. Christ Church isn’t just a place to visit — it’s a place to feel. To stand in awe, to listen, and to be reminded that behind every stone lies a story waiting to be told

Exquisite! - It’s a must see while in Dublin! The architecture and the significance of this holy place is beautiful! I wish I could have been a fly on the walls from the beginning of its existence! It’s very well preserved!

One of the beautiful churches in Ireland - Dublin has a lot of beautiful old churches and this one was very special. The beauty is unmatched in the city. The history and well maintained appearance was worth the visit. So if you visit Dublin then this is worth the visit,

Amazing and Beautiful - Our tour guide walked us through the Church telling us the history and pointing out items in the Church. There is so much to see and read and is very informative. We were there 90 minutes but that is enough time if you move along. Would recommend

Rewarding and Inspirational - The cathedral self-guided tour is a wonderful way to spend an hour or two. I was fascinated by the history of the church and found an intriguing memorial, work of art or historical artifact around every corner. Visiting churches and cathedrals is one of my favorite activities in Europe and this wonderful edifice was a wonderful investment of time. It was a rewarding and inspirational journey.

Friend - Reverse ticket. Great info and the recording were clear. There are places for you to set and lesson. No one rushes you thru.

Make sure they’re open when you go - We had other activities planned throughout the day. We headed over around 215 to visit the church. They informed us it was closed and I would have to come back at 4:30. That was impossible as I said we had other activities planned for the day. So that was a waste of my money.
