Day 1
On the first day of your Dublin break, we suggest you get your bearings and learn a bit about Irish history.

Your third stop is Dublin Castle. It was built in the 13th century and like many castles in Ireland, it underwent numerous renovations and expansions. Those with an eye for architecture will notice hints of Georgian and Gothic styles during their visit.
Your fourth spot will be Brazen Head. Dublin's oldest pub and is located just a 15-minute walk from The Grafton Hotel. Dating back to the 12th century, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time when you stroll through its doors. Stop here for a bite to eat and a well-deserved pint of Guinness.
Your final stop of the day is to Ireland's top attraction The Guinness Storehouse. Located in St. James Gate and has been home to Guinness since 1837. Here you can take their tasting experience to gain a new appreciation for the art of brewing. There is also a rooftop bar with magnificent views of the city! Booking is essential.
