What is the Dublin Essentials Pass?
The Dublin Essentials Pass from Go City gives you access to three of the city's most important sights - at a fixed price, without having to book a comprehensive sightseeing package.
Dublin combines lively pub culture with over a thousand years of history. The Dublin Essentials Pass makes exactly this mix accessible: you first choose one of the three top attractions - the Guinness Storehouse, the Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour or the Jameson Distillery Bow St. You then combine your choice with two other highlights from a pool of seven attractions, including EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, The Teeling Whiskey Distillery, Saint Patrick's Cathedral and Dublin Zoo.
The Dublin Essentials Pass is valid for 30 days from the first visit and can be canceled free of charge for 90 days until activation. Go City also offers a savings guarantee: if you don't save compared to individual tickets, Go City will refund the difference. This makes the Dublin Essentials Pass ideal for a short trip where you want to visit the most important highlights - without having to book tickets individually.
Choose 1 top attraction + 2 further highlights

Frequently asked questions about the Dublin Essentials Pass
How long is the Dublin Essentials Pass valid for?
The Dublin Essentials Pass is valid for 30 days from the first visit. The 30 days start with your first visit to an attraction. After purchase, you have a whole year to activate the Dublin Essentials Pass.
Can I cancel the Dublin Essentials Pass free of charge?
Yes, you can cancel the Dublin Essentials Pass free of charge within 90 days of the date of purchase - as long as it has not yet been activated. Once you have presented the Dublin Essentials Pass at the first attraction, it is considered activated and can no longer be refunded.
Do I have to book attractions in advance?
Advance booking is required for the Guinness Storehouse. The booking is made directly via the Go City app and is free of charge. For all other attractions in Dublin Essentials Pass, no advance booking is required - simply show your QR code at the entrance.
In the high season (June to August), popular dates at the Guinness Storehouse are booked up quickly. Reserve your preferred date as soon as possible after purchase.
Is the Dublin Essentials Pass really worth it?
Yes, in most cases. Three top attractions cost between €62 and €88 individually. With the Dublin Essentials Pass you always pay €59 - that's a saving of up to €29 per person (33 %), depending on your choice. Go City also offers a savings guarantee: if you don't save compared to the individual purchase, Go City will refund you the difference.
How do I connect the Dublin Essentials Pass to the app?
After your purchase, you will receive a confirmation email with a confirmation code. Download the Go City app from the App Store or Google Play and enter the code. The Dublin Essentials Pass will then be synchronized with your account. Synchronization does not yet activate the Dublin Essentials Pass - the 30 days of validity only start the first time you visit an attraction on site.
Can I buy the Dublin Essentials Pass for several people?
Yes, you choose the number of adults and children when purchasing. Each person receives their own digital Dublin Essentials Pass in the app. Children from 5 to 15 years pay €29 instead of €59. Children under 5 years usually do not need a ticket - however, the exact rules depend on the respective attraction.
Is public transportation included?
No. DART, Luas and Dublin Bus are not included in the Dublin Essentials Pass. For local public transport in Dublin, we recommend a Leap Card - this gives you discounted travel on all means of transport in the city.
Which attractions can I choose?
You do not commit to individual attractions at the time of purchase. The Dublin Essentials Pass includes three admissions that you can freely allocate to attractions - you only make the decision on site or via the app. One condition applies: one of the three entries must be used for one of the three top attractions (Guinness Storehouse, Big Bus Dublin Hop-on Hop-off Tour or Jameson Distillery Bow St.). You can choose the other two entries freely from the pool of seven attractions.
