Kilmainham Gaol

Where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were held and shot. Guided entry only, and the tours sell out days ahead — which is the single most useful thing to know about visiting Dublin.

Kilmainham Gaol is in Dublin, and this is Dublin — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 590 km across and 210 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

Dublin to Galway and Cork by train is easy; everything else really wants a car, and the small roads are small. All of Ireland →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
