If you’re planning to visit several Dublin attractions during your trip, the Explorer Pass can save you a fair amount over buying individual tickets at the door. It’s a Go City product that bundles entry to multiple attractions into one digital pass, and you choose exactly how many you want - three, four, five, or seven - from a list of over 40 options.
The selection covers Dublin’s biggest draws. The Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin Zoo, and the Big Bus hop-on hop-off tours are all on the list, alongside experiences like the Game of Thrones Studio Tour and Teeling Whiskey. You pick what interests you and skip what doesn’t, so the pass works whether you’re into history, whiskey, culture, or all three.
The pass is fully digital - no printed tickets needed. It activates on first use and stays valid for 30 days, giving you flexibility if you’re spreading your sightseeing across a longer stay. Some attractions require advance reservations, which are clearly marked. The savings compared to individual door prices can be as much as 50%, depending on the combination you choose.
Do the maths before you buy. The pass genuinely saves money if you’re planning to visit three or more paid attractions, but the savings vary considerably depending on your choices. The Guinness Storehouse, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, and the Jameson Distillery are among the pricier individual tickets - if those three are on your list, the pass pays for itself easily. If you’re only sure about one or two, check the individual prices first.
Activate it on your first full sightseeing day, not when you arrive. The 30-day window starts from first use, not from purchase. If you land on a Friday evening and you’re tired, don’t tap through to activate it on the airport bus. Wait until you’re actually standing outside your first attraction. That way you’re not burning days when you’re not actively using it.
The Game of Thrones Studio Tour is outside Dublin - plan your logistics. It’s a popular inclusion in the pass, but it’s located at Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, County Down. If you’re including it, factor in the travel time from Dublin - it’s not a quick addition to a city day.
The Big Bus hop-on hop-off tour is one of the best value inclusions. If you’re going to spend a full day on the pass, using the hop-on hop-off as your transport backbone between other attractions makes a lot of sense. You’re effectively getting the bus for free while using it to move between your chosen stops.
Some of the smaller, less obvious attractions on the list are genuinely worth your time. EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum in the Docklands tends to get overshadowed by the big-name options, but it’s one of the most thoughtfully designed museums in the city. If you have Irish heritage, or you’re curious about the story of the Irish diaspora around the world, it’s worth putting on your list.
