About Limerick

Limerick, Ireland’s lively riverside city, offers a unique blend of medieval charm and Georgian elegance. With its stunning views of King John’s Castle and a vibrant cultural scene, it’s the perfect base for exploring Ireland’s heartlands. Whether you're after a budget-friendly stay, a luxurious getaway, or a family-friendly option, Limerick has something for everyone. For a blend of comfort and history, consider staying near Pery Square or in the city centre, where you'll have easy access to top attractions and boutique hotels.

If you're into sports, Thomond Park is definitely worth checking out, especially if you've never experienced a rugby match. It's the home of Munster Rugby, and the atmosphere is amazing! For history buffs, you can't miss St. Mary’s Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace, which is a stunning 18th-century building. And if you want to soak up some local flavour, the Potato and Milk Markets are great spots to explore—they're always buzzing with energy.

Limerick's also got a thriving art scene. The Hunt Museum is packed with Bronze and Iron Age treasures, and the Limerick Gallery of Art has a fantastic collection of local artists. If you're into architecture, the Living Bridge is a must-see—it’s a 350-metre footbridge built by the same people who did the Eiffel Tower. Just a heads-up, if you're visiting in the summer, make sure to book your stay early since the best places can fill up quickly!
