Dublin Pass
★★
30+ SIGHTS FOR FREE
The Dublin Pass (www.dublinpass.ie) is a great bargain for sightseers, getting you in to more than 30 sights for free, and offering discounts on souvenirs and cafes at the sights that are already.
The 1-day version isn't a great deal (too much to cram in to make it worthwhile), the 2-day or 3-day pass can be a good investment...
COSTS
• 1-day: €35 ($48)
• 2-day: €55 ($76; online for $73)
• 3-day: €65 ($89; online for $86)
• 6-day: €95 ($130; online for $126)
