Nestled in a mountain valley on the edge of
a glorious lake, Killarney is renowned for its natural beauty and has
been a favourite tourist destination since the 18th century. Further developed
as a tourist centre by Lord Kenmare, the town and its stunning surroundings
attracted royalty and dignitaries with their legendary charm and air of
romance. Today Killarney town blends quaint tradition with contemporary
style and service. The Jaunting Cars still carry visitors around the scenic
highlights and the picturesque laneways are as bright and colourful as
ever, but the bustling streets are now lined with independent craft shops,
small galleries, traditional pubs, fine restaurants and plenty of accommodation
options, making the town a great base to explore the Region’s lush
landscape and stunning scenery. Killarney is the gateway to the Killarney
National Park, one of the country’s best-loved parks, with its magnificent
scenery, famous lakes and numerous historical and archaeological remains.
You can visit the stunning Victorian Muckross House, the atmospheric ruins
of Muckross Abbey, medieval Ross Castle or the tranquil ruined Monastery
on Innisfallen.
