Together these sights total €90; a pass saves you almost €70 (about $90) per person
over paying individual entrance fees. It also moves you through ticket lines more quickly.
Note that scheduled tours given by OPW guides at any of these sites are included in the
price of admission—regardless of whether you have the Heritage Card—and that the card
covers no sights in Northern Ireland.
Heritage Island Explorer Touring Guide: Ambitious travelers covering more ground
should seriously consider this €7 pass, which does not overlap with the above Heritage
Card sights and gives a variety of discounts (usually 2-for-1 discounts, but occasionally
10-20 percent off) at 90 sights in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This is
a great no-brainer deal for two people traveling together—you just need to buy one Tour-
ing Guide, so you'll save the cost of the guide after only a couple of stops. (Solo travelers
might have to go to half a dozen sights before the discounts recoup the initial €7.) At some
sites that already have free admission, you may get 10 percent off on purchases at their
shop or café. You can buy the guide online or at participating sights, but study the full list
of sights first (tel. 01/775-3870, www.heritageisland.com ) .
