Day 4 Dublin, Ireland Guinness Storehouse This morning, learn about the history of Ireland's famous brew during a tour of the Guinness Storehouse, a seven-story museum located in a former brewing factory inside the St. James's Gate Brewery. You'll also have a chance to observe the technique behind pouring a perfect glass of "the black stuff" during a pint-pulling demonstration, and enjoy a glass on the house at the Storehouse's Gravity Bar at the top level, which features 360-degree panoramic views of Dublin. After your tour, the rest of the day is yours to spend discovering Dublin at your own pace, with lunch and dinner on your own. Perhaps you'll wander to St. Stephen's Green, a 22-acre public park designed in the Georgian era. Its history is as rich as its landscaping. Among many points of interest, a memorial garden to W. B. Yeats features a Henry Moore sculpture. Or maybe you'll visit the National Library of Ireland, whose collection includes manuscripts spanning a thousand years. The library regularly exhibits selections from its archive of historic and modern Irish photographs, prints, and drawings. You could also choose to follow the enlightening route walked by Leopold Bloom in Joyce's Ulysses, including Eccles Street and Bachelor's Walk. This evening, you may choose to join us for an optional Traditional Irish Night, featuring a hearty three-course meal accompanied by lively tunes from local musicians. Feel free to raise your voice and join in the chorus as the merriment takes you away into the evening.
