Tower sights in Dublin

  1. A

    Chimney

    As part of the ongoing development of the Smithfield area, an old distillery chimney (nicknamed ‘the flue with the view’), built by Jameson’s in 1895, has been converted into Dublin’s first and only 360-degree observation tower. A glass lift shuttles you to the top, where you get unique views of historic north Dublin. The commentary from the knowledgeable and humorous guide is excellent, which is a good job because Dublin’s no oil painting.
