As Ireland’s most-visited attraction for years on end, there’s no escaping the might of the Guinness Storehouse. Make no mistake, it’s a seven-storey exhibition rather than a working brewery (that’s nearby but off-limits). Linger in the advertising section, which looks at its famous vintage posters and creative television ads, and leaves plenty of time for the finale: a pint of the black stuff in the Gravity Bar, with sweeping views across Dublin.
The best of the best that Ireland has to offer? The chances are you’ll find it among the best attractions in Dublin. This is the centre of Irish history and culture, after all, home to the country’s best restaurants and bars, not to mention a roster of museums that are equal to any other on the continent. Those fond of a tipple will find plenty to keep them busy here, while foodies will find themselves surrounded by innovative recipes and no shortage of tradition. Dublin is a special place and it doesn’t take long to realise that. This is your bucket list for the charming capital of impressive Ireland.
