We had read much about this cathedral, but did not feel it lived up to our expectations--we thought Christ Church Cathedral was more interesting and better maintained. This is an historic building, but seemed somewhat run down. There are many sculptures and artifacts to see and the choir area is interesting. You cannot get to the rear to see the... more

I've been on three tours to Ireland and have seen St. Patrick's Cathedral EVERY time. It is such a historical and awe inspiring church.
