About City Sightseeing Dublin
City Sightseeing operates a fleet of open‑top double‑deck buses that circle the city on a regular loop, stopping at the main attractions such as Trinity College, Dublin Castle, the Guinness Storehouse and Phoenix Park. In addition to the hop‑on hop‑off service, they run a Dublin River Cruise that departs from the Custom House Quay and offers a different perspective of the city from the water.

Where to find current promotions
Discount codes are updated frequently and may be withdrawn without notice. In addition to DEST10, you can often find:
- Seasonal offers on the City Sightseeing website (e.g., “Summer Sale”).
- Partner promotions on travel blogs, airline newsletters or hotel booking sites.
- Last‑minute deals on the official mobile app.
Because the availability of codes changes, it’s worth checking a few sources before you book:
- The City Sightseeing Dublin website – look for a “Special Offers” banner.
- Reputable coupon sites that list verified codes (ensure the site shows a recent verification date).
- Social media channels of City Sightseeing Ireland – they sometimes post flash discounts.
Practical information
- Operating hours – Buses typically run from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, with the last bus returning to the depot around 7:00 pm. Exact times vary by season; check the timetable on the day of travel.
- Payment – All major credit/debit cards are accepted online. On‑board cash is not accepted for ticket purchase.
- Accessibility – Buses are wheelchair‑accessible and have priority seating for passengers with reduced mobility.
- Kids – Children under 4 travel free when sharing a seat with a paying adult. The child price applies to ages 4‑12.
- Refunds & changes – Tickets are non‑refundable but can be transferred to another date up to 24 hours before the first scheduled ride, subject to a small admin fee.
Tips for families and groups
- Purchase a family pass (2 adults + 2 children) to maximise savings – the 10 % discount still applies.
- Use the free walking guide booklet to explore the city on foot between bus stops – it includes hidden‑gem suggestions such as the Marsh’s Library and St. Stephen’s Green.
- Combine the hop‑on hop‑off tour with a visit to the Guinness Storehouse or Kilmainham Gaol – both are a short walk from a City Sightseeing stop.
The DEST10 code was tested by our team in early 2026 and provided a 10 % discount. Discount availability can change, so always verify the code before completing your purchase.
