One of Europe’s greatest treasures as you’ve never seen it before

Grogan’s is known for its good craic and contemporary art.

To sample the black stuff at its source, hit the Guinness Storehouse, a mammoth attraction at the historic St James’s Gate brewery founded in 1759. Visitor offerings are always being tweaked, the latest addition to the excellent Storehouse tour giving a high-tech immersive insight into the four key ingredients – water, barley, hops and yeast – that fuel the legendary stout.

You can also try pouring a perfect pint at the Storehouse’s Guinness Academy, drink in the Dublin panoramas at the seventh-floor Gravity Bar and pair your tipple with oysters, hand-dived scallops (with samphire and nduja butter) or beef and Guinness stew at the brasserie. And if you fancy looking at yourself as you sip, bar staff can etch your selfie – or “stoutie” – onto the creamy head of your pint. Granted, it’ll fade as you drink it (and may warp almost Dorian Gray-like), but Dublin will be imprinted on your memory.

Five more Dublin highlights

Whiskey
Irish whiskey is enjoying a revival, with new distilleries mushrooming across the Emerald Isle, particularly in the Liberties enclave near the Guinness Storehouse. Visit them individually or sample the uisce beatha (water of life) on a distillery-hopping tour. See whiskeyisland.ie

Fine dining
For tasting menus serving Michelin-starred modern Irish cuisine, try Variety Jones, in the Liberties, or The Liath, run by Australian-born owner-chef Damien Grey in Blackrock, one of Dublin’s desirable seaside suburbs. See varietyjones.ie and liathrestaurant.com

Free culture
Catch live Irish bands and dancers at pubs such as Darkey Kelly’s and O’Donoghue’s Bar and works by esteemed Irish artists at the capital’s admission-free cultural draws. Jack Butler Yeats, Sean Scully and Mainie Jellett are showcased at the Hugh Lane Gallery and the National Gallery. See visitdublin.com

Castles
Beyond Dublin Castle – the Brits’ Irish powerbase for eight centuries – old fortresses and mansions dot the city’s outskirts, including the atmospheric (possibly haunted) Anglo-Norman pile of Malahide, set on a lush sprawling estate with botanical gardens. See malahidecastleandgardens.ie

Festivals
Dublin’s vibrant festival calendar peaks on St Patrick’s Day, when about 500,000 revellers jam pavements to watch marchers and performers on the annual March 17 parade. There’s also an event-packed festival quarter at Collins Barracks, a converted British army garrison by the hip Stoneybatter district north of the River Liffey. See stpatricksfestival.ie

THE DETAILS

FLY
Emirates flies to Dublin from Sydney and Melbourne via Dubai. See emirates.com
