Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is the rarest of beasts: a capital that puts an equal premium on the joys and benefits of heritage and hedonism. History and culture rise up from the foundations, but what’ll put a smile on your face is the city’s garrulous sociability and irrepressible humor. Though Dublin’s in a slightly sour mood these days, thanks to its troubled economy, the city does its very best to welcome visitors.

Grab a pint at the Guinness Storehouse located in the heart of the legendary St James's Gate brewery in Dublin.  This production site has been home to the "Black Stuff" since 1759, when Arthur Guinness signed a lease for 9,000 years. The Storehouse, a former fermentation plant, has now been remodeled into a visitor center dedicated to the history of Guinness. Ireland's number one visitor attraction unfolds its tale across seven floors shaped around a giant pint glass which, if full, would contain 14.3 million pints of Guinness. The highlight of the visit for many is the Gravity Bar, symbolically the "head of the pint", where one can enjoy 360 degree views across Dublin while savoring a complimentary pint of Guinness.

Explore Dublin Bay with its spectacular views of the coastline surrounding Dublin.  Malahide Castle, set on 250 acres of Parkland,  dates back to the 12th century. It has a rich and fascinating history. A journey by boat through the heart of Dublin on the River Liffey and enjoy Dublin’s rich literary history.

There are many tours that originate in Dublin to other parts of Ireland so there is something for everyone.
