Things to Do  

The Bridge

The Bridge, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  After the church and the pub, the bridge is possibly the next best thing to see. Hold on to your hair here, especially on those windy days.

Riverside coffee

Riverside coffee, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  This is one of those great traditional tea-shops in rural Ireland where they serve homemade food at really cheap prices. I'd recommend the soup of the day and brown bread. 

Sacre Coeur

Sacre Coeur, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  There are lots of things in Kerry after which who could call your restaurant. So why call it Sacre-Coeur? And it doesn't even serve French food. 

Nightlife  

Dan Murphy's

Dan Murphy's, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  Not surprisingly, nightlife in a tiny Irish town revolves around the pubs. This is Dan Murphy's in the centre of the village (pretty much everything in Sneem is in the centre of the village). 

Transportation  

Tour Buses

Tour Buses, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  Let's just hope two buses don't try to cross the bridge at the same time. You won't find any big, fancy motorways in Sneem. 

Shopping  

More shops

More shops, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  Definitely not your average High Street here in Sneem. We went to do a bit of shopping but there was little more than tacky Oirish souvenirs. 

So many of them: Aran sweaters

So many of them: Aran sweaters, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  You can buy Aran Sweaters, Daniel O' Donnell's greatest hits and stylish caps in the shops of Sneem. What more could you want? Not a lot but far too much. 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Watch the Traffic

On the Waterfront

On the Waterfront, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  Possibly not the safest place to go swimming...I had never seen the river looking so wild - at least since my last trip to Sneem. 

What to Pack  

Fashion Items

Fashion Items, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:   No need for your fancy baseball caps over here, thank you very much - when it comes to fashionable caps, Sneem is the place to shop. 

Off The Beaten Path  

The Southside

The Southside, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:  Why not wander into South Sneem - it's just across the bridge? Most of the action is at the other end of town, but, who knows, you mind find a nice pub or restaurant here?

The Blue Bear

The Blue Bear, Sneem

 barryg23 Says:   When we first visited Sneem a couple of years ago I remember we went for lunch in a pub called the Blue Bear (or something similar - I've forgotten the name). Anyway the food was very nice but what I remember most are these two old guys sitting at the counter drinking...

 I was on a bus tour in southern Ireland and we stopped for lunch in Sneem. I don't really know anything about the town but it was really nice, just a few pubs and shops as far as I remember. This...
