8 Reviews Entry is through the Visitors Centre. First you walk though a static display explaining about the castle's history, then a slide show and up to the second floor to hear a story and see some wooden carved figures (with cracks in them). Then onto a 5 min film where actors are placed in front of...
4 Reviews The good - easy to see Irish dancing and singing without having to go to a pub and wait until 11pm. Ample parking. Extremely talented singer and dancers and musicians. Good view from all tables, as there are two tiers of seating. The bad - 39 Euro per adult. Entertainment may have been great but the...
5 Reviews Before entering to St.Marys cathedral I took a look around its graveyard. It was kind of experience to me as I'm coming from Estonia and we have much more different graveyards in there. In this graveyard, there were short descriptions of buried people on the gravemonument which gives you glimps...
3 Reviews St.Marys exploring took one hour from me as there is so much to look. * The consistorial court * The Chapel of St.James & Mary Magdalene * The Lady Chapel * The altar * Windows * The Chapel of the Holy Spirit * The Jebb Chapel * The Misericords * The organ * The O'Brien Chapel * The Pery or...
2 Reviews Dolen's is not only a traditional Irish restaurant it is also venue for traditional music, which is performed most nights after 9 pm. It is a great ambiance for both locals and tourists. Dolen's also has a large room for concerts, which feature both traditional and contemporary groups. Split pea...
2 Reviews Carlton's is a new coffeehouse in Limerick which I sampled over the holliers. There's not much in terms of food, but the coffee is hot, strong and reviving, which is all I ask. Java is not far away from Carlton's, but I love the ambience of the place. It's very popular with thelocal college...
4 Reviews It's a very typical, no frills pub but I've never had a bad time. I come to Ireland 6-8 times a year and always stop at this pub when I'm in town, I refuse to spend my evening elsewhere =) The food won't blow your mind, but it's damn good and hits the spot. Prices, to my remembrance, are good...but...
6 Reviews Limerick is home to a unique bus service called Concert Travel - it goes straight to big concerts and festivals. It is very handy and much cheaper than trains or staying overnight. I went to Electric Picnic with them in September - it fast fast, comfortable, no one drinking on the bus or anything...
5 Reviews Don't be fooled by the picture - from the 'west on track' pressure group. 2010 saw the reopening of the train line between Limerick and Galway. This is great if you are exploring the west coast of Ireland, and eventually you should be able to get all the way up to Sligo by train. There are about 4...
4 Reviews Shannon airport is Limerick's local airport, direct flights to Europe are available but fewer destinations than in the past as Ryanair have had a long running battle with the airport authority over landing fees here. Air lingus pulled out for a time and now only operate to a couple of places. Jan...
10 Reviews In Limerick as in any other city/town in the world you just do not travel into some area's which are considered doddgy. I could list these for limerick but you will e told of them if you ask locally and it would be unfair of me to mention them here as there are good people living in those area's of...
2 Reviews Most everyone when they think of Ireland they think of rain, rain and more rain but it's not always like that. If you are coming during the summer it is best to bring a mixture of clothing. This year we had very good weather during the summer months with only a couple of rainy days. So it was...
2 Reviews Limerick is known as the spiritual home of Irish Rugby and if you are in Limerick between September and April you should visit Thomand Park and catch a Munster Rugby game. Munster which is the provincial team representing the counties of Limerick, Cork, Kerry, Clare, Waterford and Tipperary and this...
2 Reviews GAA sports are played in the stadium. Limerick County Gaelic Football and Hurling teams home stadium. The stadium has recently been refurbished increasing the capacity to 50,000. I would highly recommend that you try to attend a game of Hurling if you are lucky enough to get tickets. Hurling is...
4 Reviews There is so many leyers in this city. Oldest part of the Limerick is around King John's Castle. I have'nt discovered everything yet. But this castle sure dominates the view of the city. Thomond Bridge is the earliest bridge in river Shannon. The current bridge was built in 1836, replacing the...
1 Review Check out the Limerick Treaty Stone. It was in 1691 that the Limerick Treaty is said to have been signed when Limerick finally fell into English hands. This stone can be found near the castle if you cross the Thomond Bridge and immediately turn left onto Clancy's Strand. On your left you will see...
