Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin

Has anyone toured this particular museum and is it worth booking tickets in advance? Any idea how far it is from Cassidys Hotel? Thank you.

I think the Gaol is one of the top things to do in Dublin, and I believe most others would agree. We thought it was fantastic, extremely informative, and well worth our time. And yes, I would book tickets in advance, as it tends to fill up (although we were there in October on a weekday and had no issues without advanced tickets). Looks like that hotel is about 4 kilometers from the Gaol - much of it along the River Liffey. Not a bad walk if you have extra time, but there are also buses that'll drop you off right at the Gaol if you'd rather do that.

We are going in two weeks and I already have our tickets. From what everyone says, this is something you don't want to leave to chance. Enjoy!
