Limerick, Ireland’s vibrant riverside city, blends medieval charm with modern culture, making it a brilliant base for exploring both buzzing streets and lush countryside. Hotels here cater to every traveller—think sleek luxury spots with spa views over the Shannon, stylish boutique stays tucked near King John’s Castle, and family-friendly options close to parks and museums. Budget travellers will love central digs near lively pubs, while country house retreats outside the city deliver peaceful escapes with farm-to-fork dining.
Wander from King John’s Castle to St Mary’s Cathedral, browse the bustling Milk Market, or dip into the art and history collections at the Hunt Museum and Limerick City Gallery. With riverside restaurants, quirky bars, and a buzzing events scene, it’s a great base for a few days of exploring. Venture beyond the city and you’ll find rolling farmland, ancient ruins, and charming villages. Highlights include the atmospheric stone circle at Lough Gur, the 13th-century Kilmallock Abbey, and the storybook thatched cottages of Adare, where castle ruins and a friary sit alongside a world-class golf course. Add in scenic walks, horse riding, and the roar of rugby at Thomond Park, and you’ll see why Limerick appeals to so many. Food lovers are in for a treat too, with city eateries and country house hotels serving up fresh, local ingredients in style. Whether you’re after a vibrant city break or a more laid-back rural escape, County Limerick offers the best of both worlds.
