Guinness Storehouse, Dublin

Ireland's most visited attraction, in a seven-storey former fermentation building, shaped like a giant pint glass, at the St James's Gate brewery. A self-guided tour tells the story of Guinness and how it's brewed, with a famous collection of old Guinness adverts and a tasting experience where you learn to drink it properly.

The ticket includes a pint in the Gravity Bar on the top floor, which has a 360-degree view across Dublin to the Wicklow Mountains. You can also learn to pour your own perfect pint. Book a timed slot online, as it's cheaper and busy times sell out.
