I will be in Dublin in September and I know Kilmainham Gaol tickets have a 28 day window in order for one to snatch a tour guide spot. I was looking daily just for fun for the month of May and there never seems to be any available day for a tour there.
What tips do you have when August comes and I need to book a tour there 28 days out? It seems getting a tour is nearly impossible even if you try to get a spot early.
To get Kilmainham Gaol tix, you need to be on the official website 28 days prior at midnight Dublin time ( 7 pm EST, 4 pm PST) in order to have a chance to buy them for summer timeslots. I had no problem with availability in January even days after they went on sale. But June through September is a different situation. The one-hour tours are included with your admission ticket. Dress warm— it’s very cold within the prison’s walls.
Good luck!
