2. Guinness Storehouse

At the centre of the Guinness Storehouse is the giant pint glass that rises through each of the building’s seven storeys. If full, the glass would hold 14.3 million pints of Guinness. Instead it holds the million visitors that pour through the Storehouse’s doors ever year.

With a capacity for a whopping 50,000 spectators, the stadium’s sheer size alone is a sight to behold.
