If
you
enjoy
history
attractions
on
vacation,
this
is
the
visit
for
you!
This
World
Heritage
Site
tours
both
prehistoric
sites
of
Newgrange
and
Knowth
with
a
maximum
of
24
people
on
the
tour.
You
park
at
the
designated
visitor
center
and
a
bus
takes
you
to
both
sites.
Allow
time
to
go
through
the
museum
before
your
tour
(it
closes
at
6pm)
and
take
photos
in
the
makeshift
passage
tomb
as
photos
are
not
permissible
when
you
enter
the
Newgrange
passage
tomb.
Be
aware
that
the
Newgrange
passage
tomb
is
tight
and
in
a
confined
space;
ducked
heads
and
holding
small
purses
in
front
of
you
is
required.
The
guide
also
turns
off
the
lights
in
the
tomb
to
simulate
the
light
at
the
winter
solstice.
We
could
have
had
more
time
at
Knowth
as
there
are
lots
of
smaller
satellite
passage
tombs
around
Knowth,
though
you
cannot
enter
any
of
the
sites
at
Knowth;
there
was
plenty
to
look
at
though!
In
total,
we
spent
3-3.5
hours
at
this
attraction.
Highly
recommend
if
you
enjoy
prehistoric
art
and
history,
like
Stonehenge
and
the
pyramids
of
Egypt.
This
place
is
older
than
those!
I
think
I
actually
preferred
this
site
to
Stonehenge
due
to
less
people
and
more
to
see/do
at
the
sites.
You
have
to
get
tickets
well
in
advance
to
make
the
tour;
recommend
setting
an
alarm
for
yourself
to
get
tickets
when
they
open
30
days
before
the
date
you
wish
to
attend.
Bathrooms
are
at
both
stops
as
well
as
the
visitor
center.
Visitor
center
has
a
cafe
and
gift
shop.
The
sites
are
among
farms,
so
be
prepared
for
cow
crossings
(this
happened
while
we
were
on
the
bus;
we
enjoyed
this
and
found
it
funny
as
the
cows
misbehaved
a
little,
ha!).
The
entrance
is
gated
and
you
also
cannot
just
walk
up
to
the
sites
at
any
time
of
day
or
night.
