If you can’t get enough of selfies, why not take a STOUTie? This optional add-on costs €6 and lets you print your face onto the head of a pint of Guinness.

Don’t skip the Gravity Bar! It’s where you’ll pick up your free pint of Guinness (if you pre-booked your ticket), but it’s also where you’ll find one of the best views of Dublin.

There might sometimes be a line to get into the Tasting Rooms on busy days, but it’s worth the wait. The lines build up because you get a guided tour through the experience, which lets you sample the aromas and tastes of Guinness.
