Visiting Dublin

Inishowen Guesthouse is an excellent base for exploring Dublin's famed attractions. Some of our guest's favorites include:

Guinness Storehouse
"A fermentation plant at St. James’s Gate Brewery has been transformed into a place where you can experience one of the world’s best known brands in a totally unexpected way. It’s the Home, Heart & Soul of Guinness." More...

Trinity College Dublin
"Trinity was founded just before the Tudor monarchy had completed the task of extending its authority over the whole of Ireland. The idea of an Irish university had been in the air for some time, and in 1592 a small group of Dublin citizens obtained a charter from Queen Elizabeth incorporating Trinity College juxta Dublin." More...

Dublin Castle
"Dublin Castle is situated in the very heart of historic Dublin. In fact the city gets its name from the Dubh Linn or Black Pool (dubh = black), on the site of the present Castle Gardens and Coach House." More...

St. Patrick's Cathedral
"According to tradition St. Patrick baptised several converts at a well in what is now the park adjacent to the cathedral. To commemorate this event, a small wooden church was built. References to the well exist in many documents until the late sixteenth-century, but the site was eventually built upon." More...

Christchurch Cathedral
"Christchurch Cathedral is a church of the Dublin and Glendalough dioceses in the Church of Ireland (Anglican Communion). The original Viking church was founded in 1038 by Donat, first Bishop of Dublin, and Sitric, Norse King of Dublin. The Church was originally subject to the Archbishop of Canterbury but was linked to the Irish Church with the appointment in 1162 of Archbishop Laurence O'Toole." More...

Kilmainham Museum
" The notorious Kilmainham Gaol (prison) has been the scene of great misery. Kilmainham opened in 1796 and until 1924 when it closed, just about every famous name in the struggle for Irish independence and statehood was a “guest” at one time. They included Robert Emmet, Charles Stewart Parnell and Eamon DeValera. Explore the warren of gloomy cells and chilly corridors." More...
