I've being there twice and it has the most wonderful atmosphere about it. The people are really friendly and you find loads of irish music where ever you go

Smaller than expected
In a nutshell
Felt like a step back into the 1950s!
2 Reviews We bought tickets to the performance at the Siamsa T?re, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, so we managed to see traditional dances after all. Before it started we had dinner and some rest. My friend took a nap and I wrote my diary until it was time to leave. We truly enjoyed the performance,...
2 Reviews I absolutely loved going to see the dolphin...it was such an amazing experience for me. To see Fungi in his natural habitat was something that I would love to experience again and again and i would strongly reccommend any people travelling to ireland to visit dingle and fungi.
1 Review The aquadrome is heavily promoted as a 'must see' tourist destination. In truth the giant wigwam is no more than a fairly pleasant swimming pool with a couple of slides attached. We visting in March, and I can't even claim that it was warm inside. The water temperature is fine, but you can start to...
sourbugger Says: The narrow gague (3ft) railway from Tralee to Dingle was never going to make it in the commercial world. It must have been one of the slowest railway journeys in the world taking (even if it stuck to the timetable) two and a half hours for a distance of just over 30 miles....
sourbugger Says: The Tralee canal extends from a marina area in the town out to Blennerville and beyond to the coast. There is no commercial traffic these days but the towpath is probably more used nowadays than ever before. I visited in February and took the option to jog the 3km to the...
1 Review and 295 Opinions We stayed here in mid Sept 2004 and highly recommend this hotel. The owner and staff are very...
4 Reviews and 348 Opinions Attended a wedding in July 2010,also stayed in hotel.The rooms were excellent,our room was the...
sourbugger Says: I don't wish to comment on the bar food, which may be fine, but the traditional buffet was poor. At 11-12 euro for a meat with trimmings (veg potato etc) it is about right in terms of price (i.e a rip-off, but normal for ireland). The plate was however at best lukewarm,...
Restaurant David Norris: Stop by to See Paul's Work
sjm30741 Says: What makes this place so special is that my son Paul is one of the chefs working there! He considered this to be a great career opportunity, and from the reviews online, it would certainly do well on anyone's resume.The descriptions of the menu make it sound incredibly...
2 Reviews Sean Og's is a great little pub. We were there on the night of the All Ireland Football Championship, so can't say if the place is always this full. There was live music, fiddles playing and patrons up dancing. There is a cozy isolated spot at the back with a big chair at the end of a long...
1 Review Spirals is a great niteclub if you just want to dance to 70s-90s music and size up the cuties :) I think either Friday or Saturday night is Ladies night, so you wont have to pay (if you're a girl)... No trainers/sneakers.
2 Reviews With the narrow streets, the traffic was very congested every place we went in town and at every time of day. Not to mention, they drive on the opposite side to what we are used to in the USA, which made even crossing the street on foot interesting, to say the least. Its not that far to anywhere,...
2 Reviews Kerry county airport (also called Farranfore) is situated a a dozen or so miles away, roughly halfway to Killarney. It might be one of the world's most scenic places to land, but the range of flights is very limited. Presently Aer Arann will get you to Dublin (Ryanair gave up on that one) whilst...
sourbugger Says: There are about 3 or 4 trains daily to Cork and about the same to Dublin. At 79 euro of an open return to Dublin...the train is daylight robbery. Check out deals online to get something more reasonable.The station is a bit odd as it used to be through station, but is now the...
Kingdom foods: A touch of luxury
sourbugger Says: Must give a little plug for this upmarket (but not ridiculously expensive) deli / winestore / cheeseshop / sandwich shop / coffee stop (you get the picture). They also usefully do good quality ready meals. Handy for a few treats for a pic-nic of if you are self catering....
sjm30741 Says: A Walmart with quality goods instead of junk from China!I'm not a big shopper-type, but I could have gone broke in there, if I could have gotten the stuff home. Make sure that you leave some empty space in your suitcases when you're packing to go- You WILL shop! And it will...
1 Review Tralee : The Rose of Tralee festival takes place every August. The basic legend was immortalised in song . A young woman is nominated to represent her city/region every year and the event is televised live, where they have a chat with the host about themselves, interests and why they should be The...
orlikins Says: Smirting is a combination of the words smoking + flirting, geddit? It started when people had to go out for a ciggie after the ban was enforced, and got chatting to fellow smokers outside on the street, eyes meeting across a cloud of blue nicotine... ;) So you may just meet...
sourbugger Says: The Rose of Tralee contest occurs around the end of August every year. The whole place goes a bit mad for a week or so whilst they work out who to give the award for the most irritating not-fat irishwoman to. They emphatically say its "not a beauty contest" and each...
1 Review Tralee is located at the gateway of the Dingle Peninsula, so you could easily take a bus or a car down to the Kerry Gaeltacht towns of Ventry and Dingle. The scenery is beautiful - I took this photo on a school trip to Dingle. This strip of land is known as An Gaeltacht because Irish is spoken daily...
Billybowser Says: The Council have just 'opened Ballyseedy wood ( summer 2005 ) you can drive in there and and take three routes to choose from there's also a car park and road in . This not near the castle but accessed from the castlemaine road ... i took the kids there and they loved it...
sjm30741 Says: I think I would have had something really special to add here if I had not failed to note one little detail when planning this trip:March in Tralee is considered "off-season" and some things I would have loved to have seen (specifically the MUSEUM) were actually CLOSED on...

Two years ago we didn't like Tralee at all and thought it was an ugly town. Now we saw completely different town and liked it quite a lot. After booking beds in the hostel, which was more than a youth...
Son Paul moved to Tralee in 2000 and in Jan 2003 came to visit us in Rossville with his Irish fiance, Bernie. Of course they were wishing we could come to Ireland for the wedding in March, but it...
Stopped in Tralee in county Kerry for a night before heading to Dingle and the ring of Kerry. Its a big town, nothing major going on but a good base for exploring Kerry. Dunnes is the general store......
Tralee, population 22,000, lies on the south-west coast of Ireland at the gateway to the Dingle Peninsula. It is the capital town and administrative centre of County Kerry, Ireland’s premier tourism...
