Ireland isn't all shamrocks, beer and rain. We spent a few days exploring the city of Dublin and all that it has to offer, including a city built on rich history, an expansive food offering and all kinds of cool places to discover (okay, there's beer, too). Here are some must-hit moments when you visit Dublin.
Do: The Guinness Storehouse
Many people have heard of (and probably tried) a Guinness, but what most people don’t know is how much history there is between Guinness and the city of Dublin since Guinness was founded in 1758. The Guinness Storehouse is a must-do attraction in Dublin, from visiting the various exhibits, to getting a tasting of the different varieties of Guinness (most people think there’s just the one stout, but there are actually 15 at any given time) and see how the brews are made. Before you leave, take a visit to the Gravity Bar where you can take in the almost-360-degree views of the city and learn how to drink Guinness the right way (because you’ve probably been doing it all wrong until now). Want a chance to stay at the Guinness Storehouse? Guinness and Airbnb are teaming up on a really cool contest to spend a night at the Guinness Storehouse, complete with private tour and tasting and VIP dinner. We got a sneak peek of the transformed Gravity Bar and — trust us — you’re going to want to enter.
