Advantages: you can tour yourself round

Disadvantages: the shop is a bit pricy

The Guinness Storehouse is located in St James Gate, Dublin. We walked there from the centre of Dublin and it took about twenty minutes. It is easy to find. Once we arrived we quickly got to the ticket desks, there was hardly any queue at all which surprised us greatly. We got student tickets without any hassle even though we did not have international student cards, they were very accommodating. We did the self tour where you walk round yourself with a guide book. I think this is the best way to see it as you can do it at your own pace. It was fascinating seeing how Guinness is made and I found the video about how they make the barrels extremely informative and I would definitely recommend watching it. I would also recommend that you pour your own pint as you get to pour a pint of guinness and then you get a certificate to say that you can pour the perfect pint and it is a great souvenir of your visit. I think the Guinness shop is a bit expensive but that is to be expected. I would advise buying souvenirs in the many shops around Dublin as they sell all the same stuff as the Storehouse.

Summary: Fantastic tourist attraction - beautiful pint of Guinness
