Dublin Tours
Guinness Storehouse
The Storehouse covers seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped in the form of a pint of Guinness. The ground floor introduces the beer's four ingredients (water, barley, hops and yeast), and the brewery's founder, Arthur Guinness. Other floors feature the history of Guinness advertising and include an interactive exhibit on responsible drinking. The seventh floor houses the Gravity Bar with views of Dublin and where visitors may drink a pint of Guinness included in the price of admission.
Book of Kells 800AD
The Book of Kells was created around the year 800AD and researchers believe that it was originally produced in a monastery on the island of Iona off the coast of Scotland. It appears to have been created by three artists and four scribes. When Iona was attacked by Vikings, the surviving monks moved to a sister monastery in Kells, Co. Meath. Some scholars believe that it was here that the Book of Kells was finished.
Dublin Zoo
Located in Phoenix Park, Dublin, is a zoo in Ireland, and one of Dublin's most popular attractions. Established and designed in 1830 by Decimus Burton, it opened the following year. Covering over 28 hectares (69 acres) of Phoenix Park, it is divided into areas named Asian Forests, Orangutan Forest, The Kaziranga Forest Trail, Fringes of the Arctic, Sea Lion Cove, African Plains, Roberts House, House of Reptiles, City Farm and South American House.
The Library dates back to the establishment of the College in 1592 and is the largest research library in Ireland.
Today it has six million volumes with extensive collections of journals, manuscripts, maps and music reflecting 400 years of academic development. The most famous of its manuscripts, the Book of Kells and the Book of Durrow, were presented by Henry Jones, Bishop of Meath and former vice-chancellor of the University, in the 1660s. Other special collections include the Ussher Collection acquired in 1661 and the Fagel Collection of 1802.
The Library was endowed with legal deposit privilege in 1801 and continues to receive copies of material published in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Kilkenny
Kilkenny Castle
There are few buildings in Ireland with such a long history of settlement with Kilkenny Castle. The Castle was built soon after the Norman conquest of Ireland and in the 800 years since it was rebuilt, restored and extended as the circumstances of the day changed.
Kilkenny Castle is open to visitors all year round today. Hundreds of thousands of visitors arrive each year to see this elegant big house and walk among the mature trees and extensive wildlife in the fifty-acre domain around it. On top of the beauty, a formal banned rose garden was added to the domain in the nineteenth century, as well as an artificial woodland and lake. There are also tea rooms, a playground and some orienteering routes for the visitor's sake.
