Guided Tours
The
Brú na Bóinne Visitors Centre located near the village of
Donore, Co. Meath is the starting point for guided tours of Newgrange and
Knowth. The
Heritage
Ireland website has details of opening times and admission charges.There are a limited number of guided tours each day, to ensure your place arrive as close to the opening time as possible. As the day progresses, especially in the summer the waiting times get longer and the tours may be completely booked out by mid afternoon.
There is a replica of the Newgrange passage and chamber at the Visitors Centre, so even if the tours to the actual site are booked out, all in not lost.
