2 Travel adventures Ireland

Citytrip Dublin

30 april - 3 mei 2026 (4 days)

A short distance beyond the cathedral lies the Guinness brewery. We have also booked a time slot here. The brewery is clearly a tourist attraction, with several tour buses parked in front of the factory. We join the queue for the visit to the Guinness Storehouse. Across several floors, the process of brewing the Irish beer is explained. Mainly due to the large number of visitors, it can sometimes feel a bit chaotic. During the tasting, the aromas of the ingredients are released. Everyone also receives a small glass of Guinness to try. I have never liked Guinness, and I still do not. On the seventh and top floor, there is a bar. One pint of beer is included in the tour. Just to be safe, I choose a lager instead. From here, there is a beautiful view over Dublin, and it is easy to see how large the Guinness brewery complex is. Back in the city centre, it is busy in the Temple Bar district. At the Temple Bar pub, we order a drink. This is undoubtedly the most touristy corner of the area. The prices for a pint of beer, well over ten euros, reflect that as well.

Tour of Ireland

24 aug. - 3 sept. 2002 (10 days)

We take the bus towards Midleton, where we visit the Jameson Whiskey Heritage Centre. This is the oldest whiskey distillery in Ireland. In this renovated distillery, the tour shows how the whiskey is made. We visit the storage area, the large waterwheel for power, and of course have a look at the stills and whiskey cask storage. At the end of the tour, we are offered a tasting. We’re given a small glass of whiskey. Unfortunately, I don’t like it.
