Irish Landmark Named As Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction

Dublin’s Guinness Storehouse has been named as Europe’s leading tourist attraction at the World Travel Awards being hosted in Sardinia. It seems it’s not just the Irish that want to raise a pint of the black stuff to Arthur and Martha, with the tourist haunt beating out stiff competition to be named the biggest tourist pulling attraction in the continent. The brewery at James’ Gate welcomed an incredible 1.25 million visitors in 2014, which we’re sure will increase again following their award. Beating out Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Edinburgh Castle, we’re sure there will be some serious celebrations in Dublin 8 tonight. Managing Director of the Storehouse, Paul Carty said: “Today is a very proud day for the Guinness Storehouse team. We were honoured to have been shortlisted amongst such iconic attractions but to be voted by the public as ‘Europe’s leading tourist attraction’ goes beyond anything we could have imagined.” We’ll raise a glass to that!
