Limerick, Ireland

Limerick Ireland

Situated in the heart of Ireland's stunning Shannon Region, Limerick is the third most populated city in Ireland. Limerick boasts a long list of attractions and exciting activities for people of all ages and interests. A city of many contrasts, it has successfully managed to blend the modern with the historic. From exploring King John’s Castle in the heart of the city’s medieval district to tracing Frank McCourt’s footsteps on an Angela’s Ashes walking tour, to boat rides, there is something for everyone. King John’s Castle is the city’s most iconic landmark. Located on King’s Island in the heart of the Medieval Quarter of Limerick City, the castle offers panoramic views of Limerick city and the surrounding countryside. The visitors centre at the Castle contains an imaginative historical exhibition which tells the story of the Castle. The impressive St. John's Cathedral, which has the tallest spire in Ireland, is a must-see when visiting the city. The Cathedral of Saint Mary is Limerick’s oldest building and is well worth a visit. The west door is part of the original structure and the stained glass is absolutely beautiful. Make your way into the Limerick City Gallery to find a superb collection of Irish painting. No cultural exploration is complete without visiting the impressive Hunt Museum with its outstanding displays: one of the finest collections of Celtic and medieval treasures outside Dublin, and works from Picasso, Renoir and Henry Moore. Limerick is a fantastic shopping location and boasts a diverse culture and arts scene where there’s always something happening. Whether it’s a Guinness, a Cosmopolitan or a cold beer, you’ll find plenty of stylish bars, cosy pubs and happening nightclubs in Limerick to suit your tastes.
