International travellers may sneer, however the vast majority will succumb to the wonderful architecture, history and spiritual reverence.

Just be conscious of the fact that the Cathedral... More

I loved that the Cathedral was open to go in a say a quiet prayer and then to go and have a look at the gorgeous altar. The church is actually a historian's dream...

St Patricks Cathedral is a truly beautiful building - both majestic and spiritual. Even if you're not religious, it's a beautiful place to visit, and to spend some quiet time.

The building is great, with incredible gargoyles and carvings, both outside and inside. The roses, gardens and water features outside are lovely. A wonderful quiet place that is good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

After a delightful High Tea at the Windsor Hotel, we walked to St. Patrick's Cathedral to admire the gothic architecture, the peacefulness and gardens surrounding the Cathedral.

Worth a visit, the building is pristine. The craftsmanship is truly great. Amazing stained glass windows, wood carving, stone masonry etc I had a nice chat with the vicar as well. Very gothic in design (the building lol, not the vicar :) If you like architecture, definitely worth the visit! Enjoy :)

This is an awe inspiring church that is worth visiting. It doesn't sell itself as a tourist attraction so you're free to roam the church but there are no tourist maps pointing out points of interest. It is a very peaceful place whether you're a catholic or not this places is somewhere you'll remember. The gothic architecture is amazing and... More
