Dublin, Ireland: Guinness Storehouse tour; things to do

Guinness Storehouse tour  

$19. 

This site has been producing the "black stuff" since Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease in 1759.  A former fermentation plant, the Storehouse is now a visitor center that tells the history of Guinness.  It is Ireland's number one visitor attraction.  The story unfolds as you walk up this 7-story building shaped like a giant pint glass.  When you reach the Gravity Bar at the top, your reward is a 360-degree view of Dublin and a complimentary pint.  Consider buying tickets ahead online—you’ll save a bit of money and you won’t have to wait in line.  And keep in mind that according to Denis O'Reilly of Wild Wicklow Tours, “You’re a real Guinness drinker when at the end of the drink the foam that began at the top is in the bottom of the glass.”
