IRISH ADVENTURE #22: CHARMING KILLARNEY

Posted on by

While exploring Killarney and the Ring of Kerry, we had a convenient base for three nights at the Killarney Towers Hotel.  Located in the heart of charming Killarney, it was easy to pop in and out of the hotel and go for a stroll around town.

Killarney, a town of 14,412 people in southwest Ireland, is located on the popular Ring of Kerry (the subject of my next post), so it is a tourist hub.  Still, even though there are some tourist gift shops in the town center, they are quite nice to walk through, the town is very pleasant, and it was an enjoyable base for us.  As a matter of fact, Killarney is so pleasant that it was named Ireland’s tidiest town and the cleanest town in the country by Irish Business Against Litter, in 2011.

This bar and restaurant was something to see inside! There were several different rooms, each full of memorabilia and loaded with charm. We wandered throughout the entire meandering place, taking a lot of photos along the way. The staff was very nice and welcomed us! The next seven photos are of the interior and back patio.
