The Guinness Storehouse Experience

It's a dramatic story that begins over 250 years ago and ends at the Gravity Bar, where visitors can enjoy a free pint of Guinness and relax while enjoying the spectacular views over Dublin. The adventure begins the moment you walk through the door and enter the building's giant pint-shaped glass heart. As you make your way through the Guinness Storehouse, you'll discover how the Black Stuff is made - the ingredients, the processes, the passion.

The Cliffs of Moher

One of Ireland's most popular visitor experiences and tourist attractions, the Cliffs of Moher tower over the rugged west coast of County Clare.

Visually spectacular, the Cliffs of Moher sit astride the stunning landscape of the Burren on one side and the wild Atlantic on the other. Rising from the Atlantic waters to a height of over 700ft at O'Brien's Tower and along the Clare coast for almost 14 kilometers, or 8 miles, the Cliffs of Moher were formed over 320 million years ago, and now form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark. The Cliffs of Moher is in a special conservation area for birds and wildlife. The magnificent cliffs on the Wild Atlantic Way are home to large colonies of nesting seabirds and are one of the country's most important bird breeding grounds. Borrow binoculars from our information desk and watch the birds. Enjoy the captivating spectacle of numerous seabirds, a wonderful way to pass the time.

Walk along the safe, paved paths and view the famous cliffs on Europe's western border and enjoy the spectacular views of sea, land and sky. Their natural beauty has inspired artists, musicians and poets for generations, as well as scientists and geologists drawn to the unique landscape in which they lie.

The Cliffs of Moher, Ireland's most famous cliffs, will leave you in awe and create memories that will last forever.
