With so much to see and experience in Dublin, it’s difficult to fit everything into a single itinerary. Luckily, with a combination sightseeing bus tour and Guinness Storehouse ticket it’s easy to fit a host of activities into a single day. To get the most out of your visit, simply buy a ticket and hop on at one of the many stops around the city centre. Then prepare for a mix of history, culture and adventure!
The Guinness Storehouse is a must-visit destination for any Dublin itinerary. With a combination ticket for a sightseeing tour and the Home of Guinness, you can start the day early and head to the Guinness Storehouse which opens from 10am Monday – Friday or 9.30am Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy a speciality coffee and cake or hot sandwich at the Cooperage Café before beginning your self-guided tour. With seven interactive floors to experience, immerse yourself in the tradition, craft and ingredients that go into one of Ireland’s most famed exports. Picking up knowledge and insight as you go, you’ll become acquainted with the historic advertising of the brand as well as its foundational mark on the city of Dublin.
Afterwards, take in panoramic views of the city at the Gravity Bar and sip a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, non-alcoholic Guinness 0.0, Hop House 13, or a soft drink. If you’re feeling peckish before exploring more of the city centre, venture into the 1837 Bar & Brasserie or Brewer’s Dining Hall for a lunch to linger over or Arthur’s Bar for a quicker bite.
A Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour through the city centre is made for those who want to explore the breadth of the city without the hassle of planning out a route. With stops littered through the city’s main thoroughfares and attractions, your Dublin adventure becomes that much easier as you see the city from a double decker bus, get off at sites you want to visit and simply hop back on afterwards. This way, you can easily fit multiple attractions into a single day without compromise. With City Sightseeing, BigBus Dublin and DoDublin you can avail of combination tickets with entry to the Guinness Storehouse.
Within a matter of minutes, you can be right outside several of Dublin’s iconic sights. Discover modern art at IMMA, indulge in a shopping spree on Grafton Street or learn about the fascinating imprint of Irish emigration at EPIC. After a full day of exploration, treat yourself to the Flavours Experience, a cocktail-making workshop, or the Blending Experience, a whiskey blending workshop, at Roe and Co Distillery where you’ll uncover the art of the craft from the masters. You’ll be just in time to enjoy an evening drink at the Power House Bar or hop over to the Guinness Open Gate Brewery to sample a range of experimental brews – both conveniently located near the Guinness Storehouse tour stop and a fitting way to end your Dublin experience.
Like the sun and sea, tea and toast, weekends and lie-ins, the Guinness Storehouse and a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour are a perfect pairing. Curated routes will take you around the city with ease, including a stop at the Home of Guinness where you can absorb the history, heritage and legacy of Guinness.
