Water at the Guinness Storehouse

The Guinness Storehouse, located in Dublin, is essentially a brewery museum, which covers the popular history of the brewery and exposes visitors to some insights into brewing the very popular Guinness beer. It attracts millions of visitors every year, making it one of Ireland's leading tourist attractions. At €14, it's a bit pricey for a self-guided tour, but the price of admission does include one complimentary pint at the roof top bar. It's called the Gravity Bar, and it provides patrons with some fairly impressive views of Dublin.

Queen's University in Belfast

When Queen Victoria established Queens University in 1849, it was part of a larger effort to make higher education more available throughout Ireland. Today, the school has approximately 25,000 students and is considered one of the better universities in the United Kingdom. The school's chancellor is former US Senator George Mitchell.

Dublin's Abbey Theatre

The Abbey Theatre was founded in 1904 as the National Theatre of Ireland. Behind the writing of W.B. Yeats and John Millington Synge, the Abbey would forge a distinctively Irish style of theatre. The original Abbey was destroyed by fire in 1951, and the company was compelled to use other theatres until the present facility opened in 1966. Leading Irish playwrights Hugh Leonard, Brian Friel, and Tom Murphy regularly have their works performed at the Abbey.
