Newgrange, Donore

We went to New Grange on a Saturday from Dublin for a day trip as it’s only around 1.5 hours away. The tickets to see this place was free although you have to book them online and there are limited tours. We opted for an afternoon tour. I think there are a few tours every few hours. Once you reach Newgrange, they arrange another vehicle to take you the actual monument. Now this place is ancient and dating almost around 4000years ago. There was a person/tour guide who was explaining the history of New Grange. You can only see the Winter solstice on a lottery basis which is pretty cool. Once the tour ended we went to the museum. There is also free parking and a cafe at the premises. Overall a fantastic day trip and a must visit place!

Really good! Good tour guides, and the monument is cool. It is however a tight squeeze on the inside of the Newgrange, so we aware of that if you’re a bigger person. The walks around the area is easy.
