Dublin Tourism is located in the former Saint Andrews Church. It is a great place to start when you arrive in Dublin for assistance in everything that you may like to do in the city. They have tons of pamphlets on activities, tours, events and places to eat. If needed they will give one on one attention to assist you in booking tickets for transportation, theater and hotel stays. Maps and books are available for sale and you can also exchange money here. I was told that they can assist in four languages. (English, Italian, Spanish and French) For me the building housing the tourism office was the real star. It is stunningly beautiful and sits in the center of town. The church was built somewhere around 1862 and served that purpose until 1993. The Church of Ireland sold St. Andrew's in 1994. It has three levels and is over 19,000 sq ft. The first floor is massive at almost 9,000 sq ft. read more

I can't believe this is my 40th review of Ireland and my last... at least until my next visit to the Emerald Island. So let me go back to the beginning of this journey. My trip to Dublin was planned like the true procrastinator that I am. I was just finishing one job and due to start a new one in a week's time. I just knew flying to Dublin would be a relatively easy break, but I had next to no clue what to do when I got there other than the tips I got from a random sampling of YouTube traveler advice videos. In my typically aimless fashion, I ended up at the Dublin Tourist Centre, housed in historic St. Andrew's Church, on Suffolk Street. Inside are a series of tour company desks and kiosks set up much like the car rental counter at an airport. They all provide competitively priced tours going to the same places throughout the island. It was here that I impulsively decided to make a booking the next day to Northern Ireland, in particular, to see the Giant's Causeway. After booking with one company, I noticed that the pick-up time was too early for me to get from my suburban hotel to the meeting spot outside the building. I noticed their competitor picked up their passengers an hour earlier. You would have guessed all hell done broke loose since the agents didn't know how to process a cancellation on their PCs. They tried to convince me that I couldn't cancel, but the ugly American came out of me and they relented. Regardless I am grateful this office exists because I wouldn't have experienced many of the 39 other things I already reviewed. read more

Dublin Tourism - Front entrance of the Dublin Tourist Centre - Travel Services Near Me - Dublin, D

This tourist office is located right around the corner of the Molly Malone statue and is across the street from the SuperDry store. The address of 25 Suffolk Street is the specific address of the tourist office but oddly the photos uploaded to this yelp review look nothing like the tourist office I visited. This tourist location was very clean and the workers here were very helpful. There is a large amount of information on city tours or day tours with lots of books and brochures that you can take with you to read over. They also have lots of city/country maps that you can take to navigate through the city. There is limited seating at this location and no bathroom. Its unclear what their open hours in the day are but when we arrived at 7pm one day this location was closed. read more

Not only is the tourist offices in an old church, it is one of the best, most well stocked and informed tourist offices I have ever been in, and I have been in lots! You can book everything here from tours, to buses, to boats, to trains, not only for Dublin but for the whole of Ireland. The information is easy to find and well organised and the staff are really helpful. There is a cafe there too, as well as lots of souvenirs and gifts and posters and postcards etc. This is definitely the first stop that every tourist and Dub alike should head to to get the most out of this fab city! read more

The Church on Suffolk Street is in fact no longer used as a house of prayer, but is now a busy hub of tourist information. The handy part of this tourist office is that you can see its steeple from a few streets away making it especially easy to locate. Inside there is a café, information desks, leaflets galore and copious amounts of fiddle-dee-dee merchandise. Although the staff are helpful, they seem to be most informed when it comes to packaged tours and activities. If you want to pick up information on things specifically organised for or targeted towards tourists, there is no problem here. However the office is less useful if you want to do things in a more - dare I say it - authentic way. I recently visited with some friends from Germany who wanted to make a day trip to Glendalough, but beyond using the private tour bus my friends were given little room to manoeuvre. Asking for information on public transport routes to the location had the staff stumped. While the office serves a particular purpose, I was disappointed that it operates more as a vender of packaged tourism rather than a wider source of local knowledge. read more

I don't normally make it a habit checking out Tourist offices but I heard grand things about this place and grand it was. Located in a old church right in the heart of the city it's hard to miss. This place is like info central for all of Ireland. I just popped my head in the look around and grab some bus maps, I must have been asked a dozen times if I needed any help. Everyone was extremely pleasant and seemed as though they had a wealth of knowledge on how to explore Ireland. They did give me a tip, they said that I could book just about anything while I was there if I needed to, just so I didn't have to go from box office to box office. Nice and easy. They also have gift shop to get that family souvenir crap done. I mean lovely gifts for the loved ones in you life. Go in and check it out! read more

While I generally advise all but the most geriatric of travelers to steer clear of tourism bureaus, Ireland seems to be an exception (along with Hong Kong, but that's another story). Dublin Tourism offers the Dublin Pass, which if you're doing the touristy things during any touristy season, is a NECESSARY item. The Pass ALLOWS YOU TO SKIP THE QUEUES at a number of places. The importance of this becomes apparent when you wish to visit the Guiness Storehouse on St Patty's Day, or you try to cram the touristy things into just one day of tourist hell. Either way, the pass is worth much more than it's price. The Tourism Centre also has all those trinkets you have to buy for the family back home (postcards, magnets, bottle opener key chains, etc.) More importantly, they offer some good maps and independent hostel guides that allow you to compare the amenities of each hostel, which is especially useful if you're venturing up north into the countryside. read more

Website provides exceptional resources and trip planning tools. Superb and inexpensive Android App was helpful in finding our way around and our way to destinations without cell phone service. DUBLIN PASS is an essential component to any visit to this enchanting city. I am a little skeptical if we saved any money by purchasing the pass, but the ease of use, convenience and included guidebook made this trip a breeze. This is a brilliant concept by stuffing all of these features on to a easy to carry and use smart card. All of the biggies in Dublin are included with the exception of the Book of Kells. The Dublin Pass coupled with the Freedom Bus ticket is a guarantee to a painless, and easy vacation to one of Europe's most vibrant cities. Well done, and highly recommended. read more

The Dublin Tourist office is within St Andrews Church on Suffolk street. This location is very central, right off Grafton street and in the travel route between Grafton street and the tourist frequented temple bar area. It is in a beautiful old historic church. Although, I think it was much nicer about 6 months ago, where the tourist center had a full gift shop and cafe upstairs, the lease was not renewed on these facilities and now it is a little reduced from what it was. I still find it handy on picking up a large amount of tour brochures and free maps to share with guests who are coming to visit Ireland. You can also directly book tours here, which is nice. I really wish they had kept the gift store and cafe upstairs though. It seems just a little bare at the moment. I would give this tourist office 3.5 stars and I am rounding up to 4 as I have never seen a tourist office quite this nice. It would be a firm 4 stars if they brought it back to what it was 6 months ago. read more

The building on Suffolk Street that looks like a church is in fact the Dublin Tourism centre. It's probably the handiest source of information, save for a city map. The inside has everything that a tourist might need: a bureau de change, an accommodations -reservations service, a car rental service, rail and bus information, a gift shop and a cafe. The people who work here are very helpful and seem to like their jobs. Who doesn't like giving recommendations and telling people what to do? read more

This is the first place I would go if I arrived in Dublin....but i'm already here. Lots of free stuff too!

Melanie M is right. I too have been to a lot of tourism offices and this was by far the best stocked with maps, books, free pamphlets, and the usual touristy stuff like hats, umbrellas, and nick-nacks. If you come to Ireland to visit and stay at least a night in downtown Dublin you have to stop here or you'll be wishing you had later when you are spending too much time trying to figure out the what, how, and when of your vacation trip. Only complaint - umbrellas were very expensive and it was raining. We held out and got a bigger and better one at the Bag Warehouse on Westmoreland a little bit later. read more
