make it a worthwhile destination for disabled travelers.

5. Taking a guided walking tour will provide you with the historical
significance of the various buildings as well as the interesting facts
about the city.
Standard group walking tours can be done by wheelchair users, however
disabled tourists may prefer hiring a private guide for a Dublin disabled
accessible tour that avoids the hills and cobblestones.
• Overall, disabled access at Dublin
tourist attractions is good.
• The Old Library at Trinity College
contains the medieval Book of Kells and
is accessible to wheelchair tourists.
• A staff member will have to escort you
to the private elevator to get upstairs to
the library.

6. Dublin Castle is a short walk away and is actually an 18th century
palace.
• The palace portion is accessible but the underground ruins of a 13th
century castle can only be reached via stairs.
• The Kilmainham Gaol (jail) can be visited via a 1 hour guided tour.

7. The tour route is not accessible so one of the staff members can
provide you with a private tour.
It is located away from the city centre, but an accessible bus from
Temple Bar drops you off not far from the entrance.

8. To visit all of the tourist sights, disabled tourists will need to use
accessible busses, accessible trams, and walk/roll over
cobblestones and hills.
• It may sound daunting, but it really isn’t.
• The tourist attractions can be grouped by location.
• Those found west of Trinity College include Temple Bar, Dublin Castle,
Chester Beatty Library, and Christ Church Cathedral.

9. Those found east of Trinity College include the National
Museum: Archeaology, the National Gallery of Ireland, Merrion
Square, Number 29 Geogian House, Grafton Street, and St.
Stephen’s Green Park.
• Tourists will need to take a bus, tram or taxi to visit Kilmainham Gaol,
Guinness Storehouse, and the Old Jameson Distillery.
• For this reason, we gave Dublin a 2 star rating for proximity of sights to
each other.

10. The main street running through Temple Bar runs parallel to the
river and is flat.
• It has some severe cobblestones causing us to give Dublin a 2 star
rating for cobblestone smoothness.
• The streets that run perpendicular to the river slope upward as you
move away from the river.
• Our disabled travel agents have mapped out the slope of these streets
and provide this information as a part of our accessible holiday
planning services.

11. Because the city centre is comprised mainly of 100+ year old
buildings, few hotels have disabled access in Dublin.
• Many have a step or a flight of stairs at the entrance and small
bathrooms without grab bars.
• Disabled tourists can call various hotels to inquire about accessibility or
use an accessible travel agency such as Sage Traveling.

12. Overall wheelchair access in Dublin is similar to many popular
European destinations; disabled tourists will encounter some
difficulties with cobblestones, hills, access to buildings, and finding
truly accessible hotels.
Nevertheless, Dublin is a friendly, fun, intriguing city well worth a visit.
