Things to see and do
One of the most popular tourist attractions in the city has to be the Guinness Storehouse. Across its seven floors you’ll discover everything about Guinness before getting to taste the brew in the top-floor Gravity Bar, with panoramic views over the city skyline. You can also enjoy something to eat in the Brewers’ Dining Hall or 1837 Bar & Brasserie. Pre-booking your tickets online will save you time and money.
Alternatively, if Guinness isn’t your tipple and you are more partial to a dram of whiskey, then head in the direction of the Old Jameson Distillery, located just off Smithfield Square. A tour of the old distillery will take you through the history and process of creating the refined whiskey, along with the unique opportunity to take part in a comparative whiskey-tasting experience!
Other landmarks to explore in the heart of the city include Trinity College Dublin. The campus is a masterpiece of architecture and landscaping beautifully preserved in Georgian aspic. Most of the buildings and statues date from the 18th and 19th centuries, each elegantly laid out on a cobbled or grassy square. The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Modern Art is housed within the Arts and Social Building and facing here is the Old Library, which usually has a long line of visitors waiting to get in to take a peek at the Book of Kells and the Long Room.
If the weather allows, why not enjoy an early morning walk in St. Stephen’s Green. This city centre, 22-acre park features a waterfall, ornamental lake, and a number of sculptures. A play park offers a welcome retreat for young kids.
