    When we went we booked on to the open top bus to get a good look around and quickly realised that virtually everything is in walking distance. So avoid the bus tickets and put on the comfy shoes and spend the spare on the black stuff.:rotfl:

    Yet another vote for Kilmainham Gaol, which we only visited by default as several attractions were closed during January when I went. It's an amazing atmospheric eerie place and the film set for lots of films, including the Italian Job.

    We felt the Guinness experience was a bit of a let down, apart from the amazing view at the top. I think I was expecting a real brewery not reconstructions and audio-visuals.
    somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's

    I don't know about any other threads that mention getting into Guinness Storehouse without paying but this thread that you picked up is almost 18 months old.

    If you look back at kelda_shelton's post (dated 6/2/2008) it says she went to GS and couldn't get in without paying.
  • Hi, Get the 16a bus from the airport instead of the "skybus", it go's right into the centre, takes about 50 mins and is loads cheaper at 6 euro each
