"Older than both Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt, the monument at Newgrange was built around 3,200 B.C.E. Its use is a mystery, although it was most likely a place of worship, and there are legends that it was used as a burial chamber. The main circular mound has a passage with small chambers off it, and each year on the winter solstice, the sun travels along the passage and lights up the main chamber. Many of the curbstones at the front and stone slabs lining the passage have decorative examples of megalithic art, with zigzags, spirals, and other geometric designs. Access to Newgrange is by guided tour, and it’s part of the Brú na Bóinne complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which also has the passage graves at Knowth (on view by guided tour) and Dowth (not open to visitors)."

Must be done. Not only is a super cool place to see. They have done a beautiful job with the set up of the site. Would be fun to be there on the winter solstice.

Fantastic experience. The visitor centre is superb and the tomb itself is pnemonial. Will be returning asap. Definitely pre-book as the tours fill up. Nice coffee shop too!

We found visiting this neolithic site, is a bit like the matrix, you have to see (experience), it. To believe, (have an understanding), of what was built, before the pyramids. If you have the chance, this definitely a must.

A privilege to visit this ancient site. The museum exhibition is very good and helps you appreciate the passage tomb, the tour was great and the guide was lovely answering questions and helping us to envision what neolithic life was like

Reserve your tickets ahead of time! We didn’t know this but almost all tickets get reserved days before. I gave it 3 stars as ‘neutral’ as we only got as far as the visitor entrance, but it looks big and interesting!
