Dublin - Museum Guinness

The trip is coming to an end, we have returned to Dublin to be able to buy souvenirs for our family and friends. But also to go to the Guinness Museum. During our weekend with my family in Dublin, we didn't have time to do this museum and it seems that it is an essential museum to do when coming to Dublin.

We arrived at the museum at 10:30 am. We had booked our tickets in advance, since thanks to the internet booking you get a discount on the price according to the time and day of the visit. The museum is divided into 7 floors:

- The ground floor: It's the story of the four ingredients that make up Guinness beer (water, barley, hops and yeast). The tour of the brewery begins in the world's largest beer glass. It would take 14.3 million pints to fill the atrium with the giant glass that sits in the centre of the Guinness Storehouse.

- On the 1st floor: We discover the story of Arthur Guinness. He was a man who believed so much in his beer that he left him his name. More than two centuries later, we still honour what he left us. Then we can see how the beer was stored but also the evolution of the delivery over the years and countries.

- On the 2nd floor: We discover a multi-sensory tasting tour that brings to life the distinctive flavours of the iconic brunette.

- On the 3rd floor: It is the world of Guinness advertising, where anecdotes about cycling fish and whistling oysters will be revealed. We can interact with other great Guinness creations that dot the long creative advertising history.

- On the 4th floor: At the Guinness Academy, we can learn how to serve a pint to perfection. After learning to serve the perfect Guinness, you will be awarded a Guinness certificate.

- 5th floor: Inspired by the 18th and 19th century dining rooms of St James's Gate, the Brewers Dining Hall features an open kitchen and a menu of exclusive Guinness dishes and traditional Irish dishes.

- On the 6th floor: What better way to enjoy a perfectly poured pint of brown than sitting on a terrace above Dublin's historic skyline? Expand your horizons by enjoying panoramic views of the beautiful contours of the city.

The visit to this museum was one of the most beautiful and interesting things we were able to do in Dublin. We also attended an Irish dance performance. We spent 4 hours in this museum. It takes about 3 hours to make this museum properly.

In the afternoon, we went for a walk in Dublin and started buying souvenirs to bring back to our families and friends in France.
