Holiday Planning - Limerick
Lovely Limerick
Whether you’re planning a short break or a stop off on your driving holiday around Ireland this summer, the lively city of Limerick in the Mid-West region where the River Shannon flows into the Atlantic Ocean, is a great place to visit. There’s a great choice of reasonably priced hotels in Limerick too, meaning you can rest your head without breaking the bank.
University of Limerick
During term time, this campus is alive with both students and visitors who flock to it to enjoy the serene atmosphere, striking architecture, great places to eat and lovely walks, the highlight being the footbridge over the River Shannon where you can pause to watch the swans gliding below. Bring a picnic and just watch the world go by on a sunny day.
King John’s Castle
The twenty-first century meets the seventeenth century in this newly refurbished, must-see tourist attraction in the centre of Limerick’s medieval heart. It reopened last summer after a multi-million euro makeover and now boasts great interactive features to tell the story of the castle’s eventful past. A brilliant day out for young and old with a great café to recharge your batteries after a morning of cultural activity.
The Cliffs of Moher
Whether you drive yourself or choose the distinctive Irish flavor of a Paddy Wagon or another tour operator, taking a day trip out of the city to immerse yourself in the stunning scenery on Limerick’s doorstep is a must-do. When you first set eyes on the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, you’ll instantly understand why they’re the most popular natural tourist attraction in the whole of Ireland. And don’t miss the vistor centre to find out more.
So whether it’s history, exploring the coastline or just soaking up the atmosphere, Limerick has something to offer everyone.
