At the centre of the Guinness Storehouse is the giant pint glass that rises through each of the building’s seven storeys. If full, the glass would hold 14.3 million pints of Guinness. Instead it holds the million visitors that pour through the Storehouse’s doors ever year.

5. Dublin Castle

While most of the building dates to the 1800s, its ancient heritage is still evident in the ancient Record Tower.

It is the perfect complement to the adjoining 19th century Chapel Royal, built in the Gothic Revival style.

On Dame Street, south of the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin, stands the mighty architectural achievement that is Dublin Castle, parts of which date back to 1200.

Today, Dublin Castle is a government building and significant historic emblem.

6. Grafton Street

Among the most exclusive spots in European retail, Grafton Street is a boulevard full of upscale boutiques and restaurants.

Where Dublin Comes to RelaxPhoenix Park sits resplendently 3 miles west of the city centre, north of the River Liffey.

It is where Dublin comes to relax, although you are never short of things to do here.

8. Dublin Zoo

It’s easy to see why. Dublin Zoo is located in the delightful grounds that make up Phoenix Park so it is slap bang in the centre of the city.

There’s a train to help you cover all that distance, and plenty to see at every stop.
