Touristy but fun for one evening; music starts around 7.
Day 2: Guinness and the Liberties
10:00 AM
Guinness Storehouse
Seven floors ending at the Gravity Bar’s 360-degree view.
1:30 PM
Christ Church and Dublinia
Viking Dublin for the curious; the crypt is the oldest structure in town.
7:30 PM
Traditional session pub
The Cobblestone in Smithfield is the real thing; arrive early for a stool.
Day 3: Howth coastal day
9:30 AM
DART train to Howth
Twenty-five minutes along the bay to a working fishing village.
10:30 AM
Cliff path loop
Two hours of gorse, gulls, and lighthouse views.
1:30 PM

Local tip: A proper Guinness needs 119.5 seconds to settle. If the bartender hands it straight over, you are in the wrong pub.
