4 Reasons to Visit Ireland's Guinness Storehouse

Ireland's Guinness Storehouse hosted more than 1.6 million visitors last year, adding to its impressive legacy as one of the world's most coveted tourist attractions.

However, Dublin's premier draw isn't resting on its laurels. The Guinness Storehouse welcomed a new addition this summer and is offering discounts of up to 30 percent for guests who book their visit in advance.

Those are just a couple of reasons why the Guinness Storehouse should be at the top of your summer travel wish list.

The All-New Brewing Floor

The storehouse's newly-opened brewing floor will take visitors behind the scenes to see all that goes into crafting Guinness' iconic stout.

Guests will have an opportunity to see and smell the roasted barley as well as learn about the brewing process from start to finish through television screens, wall graphics and other elements.

It's Open Later in the Summer

The Guinness Storehouse is typically open from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the last admission being at 5 p.m. However, it stays open an hour later during July and August.

Now through the end of August, the storehouse closes at 8 p.m., with the last admission at 6 p.m.
