Is Marsh's Library worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Marsh's Library works.

A genuinely magical, near-untouched 18th-century library beside St Patrick's where the dark oak stacks and wired reading cages feel frozen in time. The honest catch: it's tiny and bookish — a single atmospheric room or two — so it's a quick, niche delight rather than a major sight.
