Day 10
Farewell Dublin 👋🏻🇮🇪🫶
August 15, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Heute haben wir Dublin mit dem Bus (Hop on, Hop mit The Big Bus Tour mit Will & Ross) und zu Fuß erkundet und viele fun facts mitgenommen, z.B. the snail on the rail, floozy in the jacuzzi … We enjoyed it very much. Gegessen haben wir in einem very small potato house (I forgot it’s actual name), ach so und ich habe gelernt wie man “cathedral” richtig ausspricht: ka-ti-dral natürlich 😅 by the way, die irische Sprache nennt man nicht “Gaelic”, sondern “Gaeilge” und The Guiness Storehouse ist die am meisten besuchte Sehenswürdigkeit in Irland. Wir waren zwar vor Ort, von innen haben wir uns aber die Teeling Whiskey-Distillery angesehen, die 2015 wie ein Phönix aus der Asche wieder auferstanden ist. Yeah 🙌🏻🥃Read more

Day 7
Ein Besuch bei der Guinness Brauerei
January 3, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Der Ausblick von der Skybar über Dublin war wirklich gut.
Der Rest war leider mehr Touri Massenabfertigung und nicht so gut.
Leider wurden wir auch nicht darauf hingewiesen dass es einen kostenlosen Audioguide gäbe.Read more

Day 8
The Guinness Compound
September 3, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Also in the West end of Dublin is the Guinness Brewery….well it is a bloody compound that stretches for blocks. It is the most visited attraction in all of Ireland. When I booked the tickets I wanted to give us time to look at a park and visit the shops in the area. Well there were no shops in the area and we did not feel like back tracking to a park in the rai so we visited the only pub we could find on the compound and had a nice long lunch with beers and and Irish coffees. Where we watched afternoon footie with the locals. It was a quaint family pub with slack service and amusement as we watch the father or uncle of Jamie (the server) yell at him constantly to give people ice or water or forks.

Finally it was time for Guinness. The tour is self guided and was packed. The most enjoyable portion was the Stoutie Bar where we got to enjoy beers with our faces on them in a private area that only had people foolish enough to spend 6 euros extra per ticket. So there were a lot of people but in the grand scheme of people it was okay. We had found a seating area and enjoyed Guinness number 1 of the tour while watching the rain outside.

Then it was off to the roof top bar (gravity bar) where you got to enjoy 360 views of Dublin. Unfortunately it was cloudy and raining so we did not see anything. It was also insane up there as everyone who does the tour gets a beer so there were wall to wall people. Luckily we ended up standing by a couple who had a table and were finishing up so we got to enjoy Guinness number 2 not crammed up against people.Read more

Day 5
Guiness store House
May 24, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Wenn man Dublin besucht muss man - als Guiness Liebhaber erst recht - ins Guiness Store House. Gesagt, getan.
Naja, es glich einer Massenabfertigung und so haben wir uns mit einer Masse an Menschen über 7 Stockwerke drücken lassen um die Geschichte und Gegenwart der Guiness Brauerei zu erfahren. Highlight war die Panorama Bar ganz oben, in der wir ein Guiness mit herrlichen Ausblick über die Stadt geniessen konnten :)Read more

Day 5
It's Guinness Time
June 14, 2018 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Da wir in den letzten Tagen schon diverse Marathons gelaufen sind, haben wir uns dazu entschieden heute eine Hop-on/Hop-off Bus Tour zu machen. Unsere erste Station war eine, die dem Aviva-Stadium am nächsten ist. Als wir dann nach ca. 2km Fußweg (wir wollten ja nicht so viel laufen 😂😂) dort ankamen, mussten wir feststellen, dass das Stadion ab heute für zwei Wochen geschlossen ist und keine Touren stattfinden. Also sind wir die 2km wieder zurück zur Bushaltestelle gegangen. Nächste Station: Dublin Castle.
Das hatten wir irgendwie spektakulärer in Erinnerung. Aber war es nicht. Deswegen waren wir auch nur 5 Minuten da und sind dann mit dem nächsten Bus zum Guinness Storehouse gefahren. Das Paradies auf Erden. Zumindest für mich 😂😂
Es ist immer wieder schön hier. Ich war nun zum dritten Mal hier und ich hab das Gefühl es ist jedes Mal ein bisschen anders gewesen. Aber immer schön.
Danach hatten wir extremen, also wirklich ganz extremen Hunger. Das erste Pub, was wir uns ausgesucht hatten, hatte leider nichts für unsere verwöhnten Gaumen im Angebot. Also sind wir weiter und haben eine tolle Pizzeria in Temple Bar gefunden.
Frisch gestärkt haben wir dann noch die restliche Bustour bis zurück zur O‘Connell Street gemacht. Die Damen mussten dann noch Souvenirs kaufen und weil das hungrig macht, gabs danach noch ein Eis 😃😃✌️Read more

Das schöne Wetter hat uns leider verlassen. Es regnet wie aus Eimern. Auf dem Weg zum Guinness Storehouse sind wir ganz schön nass geworden. Aber das gute ist: Ab 1700 soll es in Slane nicht mehr regnen. Wir sind gespannt.Read more

Day 9
Guinness Brewery
July 6, 2019 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
After the whiskey distillery we visit the massive Guinness brewery at St. James Gate to do the tour. Straight away this is a noticeably bigger operation, with a small queue at the doors.

Once inside, you realise the size of the operation, with a huge shop, and seven floors of history of Guinness, beer making, their advertising history, transportation, and finally a tasting of their famous black stuff in the almost 360 degree glass walled bar overlooking the whole of Dublin on the seventh floor. Tbe beer is actually a dark red when you hold it up to a bright light. We spent a good three hours doing this tour.Read more

Dublin Day 2
October 4, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Spent the day exploring. Headed off to the Guinness Factory for a tour. Spent a few hours there. going through the distillary building. Great tour. From here we caught the hop on hop off bus and traveled around for a bit on it. We got of at Trinity College as we wanted to look at the old harp and the book of kells. The place was packed with people but mostly uni students and it was like a mad house so we didn't hang around. From here we walked up the road a bit and came across Molly Malones statue. Onwards from here we headed to Dublin castle which has the State rooms open for viewing. Very interesting place and they even went to details about the make up that the woman would wear that contained lead. Needless to say they did not live long as they died from lead posioning. They had lead in the white powder that was used to colour the hair white to. The price of vanity and status. From the castle we went up past St Patricks church to Teillings Distillary were we did a wisky tourn. This was good to and Clint got to have my share of the wisky so he had a double helping. The road we travelled along to get to and from the distillary was fantastic. Its a place I would enjoy living in i reckon. For dinner we went up to Dublin's oldest pub, the Brazen Head. It was established in 1198. We had the Irish Stew which was delicious and we struggled to eat it all. Weather was lovely today. No rain and the temp was around 11 degrees.Read more
