City breaks to Dublin, Republic of Ireland
Temple Bar
This is where the tourist revellers head; it’s an area on the south bank of the river that is renowned for its numerous pubs and restaurants. Well worth a visit but there’s a lot more to see in the city than just this street though.
Guinness Brewery
Guinness Storehouse, "the home of Guinness", is Dublin's most popular tourist attraction. A converted brewing factory, it is effectively a shrine to Guinness, incorporating elements from the old brewing factory to explain the history of its production. Some of the old brewing equipment is on show, as well as stout ingredients, brewing techniques, advertising methods and storage devices.
The exhibition takes place over 7 floors, in the shape of a 14 million pint glass of Guinness. The final floor is the Gravity Bar, which has an almost 360° panorama over the city, where visitors can claim a free pint of "the black stuff".
Ha'penny Bridge
The footbridge crosses the river Liffey and its official title is the Liffey Bridge. It was first opened in 1816 and got its name because of the halfpenny toll people had to pay to cross it.
Trinity College
The college is located in the centre of Dublin, Ireland, on College Green opposite the former Irish Houses of Parliament (now a branch of the Bank of Ireland). The campus occupies 47 acres (190,000 m²), with many buildings, both old and new, ranged around large courts (known as "squares") and two playing fields.
General Post Office
During the Easter Rising of 1916, the GPO served as the headquarters of the uprising's leaders. The assault of the British forces extensively damaged the building, the columns on the outside are still pocked with bullet-marks. An original copy of the Proclamation is on permanent display in the GPO philatelic office.
