Attractions

Most of the attractions in Dublin are purpose-built, such as museums and art galleries. There are also open spaces and the River Liffey, where people like to walk along its banks. The most popular attraction is the Guinness Storehouse.

‘Guinness Storehouse, the "Home of Guinness", is Dublin's most popular tourist attraction. A converted brewing factory, it is now a Guinness museum, incorporating elements from the old brewing factory to explain the history of Guinness production. Some of the old brewing equipment is on show, as well as stout ingredients, brewing techniques, advertising methods and storage devices.

The exhibition takes place over 7 floors, in a building the shape of a 14 million-pint glass of Guinness. The final floor is the Gravity Bar, which has an almost complete panorama over the city, where visitors can indulge in a free pint of Guinness.’

The Guinness Storehouse is the ‘must-do’ attraction in Dublin. Tickets for the attraction can be bought on many sites such as Trip Advisor and there are a number of different tours which visitors can choose to take.

Many of the top attractions in Dublin, in partnership with tourist buses and other organisations, are involved in the Dublin Pass.

The Dublin Pass is a sightseeing package which gives visitors free entry to over 30

top attractions, museums and monuments in Dublin, as well as a free 24 Hour hop on, hop off bus tour. With other benefits like Fast Track Entry and a free one-way airport transfer included, it’s the best way to explore Dublin, saving tourists both time and money.

A recent development is that people who buy the Dublin Pass can now download the pass directly on to their smartphone. The mobile pass will contain a unique QR code which lets visitors enter the attractions for free. This saves the pass being sent by post to the visitor before they arrive in the city. This is a very interesting development especially with young adults, which is one of the biggest groups of visitors to Dublin.
