Visit · 90 min · from €25 · the 9th-century manuscript, the Old Library and the digital exhibition, at a fixed time

The Book of Kells is a gospel book illuminated by monks around the year 800, and it is kept in the Old Library at Trinity College, right in the centre. Your ticket includes the manuscript, the Long Room, the great wooden hall of the Old Library, and a digital exhibition in the Red Pavilion, a minute away. Allow an hour and a half.
The Long Room is undergoing conservation work: almost all its books have been removed and only the first four sections still have full shelves. You can still visit the hall, but do not expect the image from the photos. If you are short of time, the shorter ticket (manuscript and Old Library, 45 minutes) costs from €19.
Tickets are timed. Buy them on the official website a few days ahead; in summer and at weekends the mid-morning slots sell out. It is open daily from 8:30 (on Sundays, from 9:00).
