Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. Guinness Storehouse Factory http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24071
During the visit you will know more about the beer's ingredients, the brewery process, the Guinness family, the original site's lease document, the brand and advertising (Pelican, etc...), the Guinness book of records and other curious facts like the barrel-making process or ancient Guinness ships for transportation.

And at the end of the tour, there's nothing better than downing a good old pint at their Gravity Bar! Located at the top of the building, the nearly 360 degrees view from it is awesome and definitely a highlight of the tour.

As you can imagine, it's a really popular site for tourists and is now more branding-led now it's not owned by the Guinness family any more. A bit pricey, yes, but slightly cheaper if you book online, and definitely worth going if you also consider Guinness to be one of the biggest Irish icons to date.

Also, if you're in the area for a while, why not pop into the old prison? It's at a stone's throw from the factory and was a hidden gem of my Dublin visit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24071 St Michans off Church Street http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20319 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20319 Bank of Ireland, College Green http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12966 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12966 City Hall http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12964 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12964 National Museam of Natural History http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11786 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11786 The Palace Bar http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10527 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10527 Davy Byrne's Pub http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10526 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10526 Glendalough http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8073 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8073 The Brazen Head http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4147 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4147 Kilmainham Gaol http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4139
I was a tour guide here for two years, so I am biased, but I think it is the one of the best places in Dublin for a visit. If you want to understand recent Irish history, this is the place for you.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4139 Kilmainham Gaol http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3849 War Memorial Gardens http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3611 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3611 Newgrange http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3268 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3268 Glasnevin Cemetery http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/117 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/117
