Guinness Storehouse

Although it's not included in our formal tour, I'm sure that at least a few of us will find our way to the Guinness Storehouse, a short three-quarter mile walk from our hotel.

The tour takes you through the history of the Guinness brand and of brewing in Ireland, via a series of displays and films spread out over several floors of the building.   Not to worry, there are escalators and elevators throughout.

It ends at the Gravity Bar located at the top of the building, with 360 degree views of Dublin and its surroundings. Expect the bar to be packed; Erin and I were there on a Sunday morning in January and it was wall to wall people, so I think that's probably the norm year round.

Tickets for the tour purchased on site cost Euro 16,50, but you can save 10% by purchasing them ahead of time on line from the Guinness web site here: Guinness Storehouse web site
