Kilkenny city- characterised by beautifully restored old buildings and winding slipways - is small and compact enough to explore on foot, yet full of fascinating historical buildings and contemporary shops, design galleries and restaurants.
The ancient city of Kilkenny - from the "Gaelic Till Cearmaigh" - was named after a 6th century monk called Saint Canice. His memory lives on in the beautifully preserved St. Canice's Cathedral built overlooking the city in the thirteenth century. The Normans arrived in the twelfth century and their legacy remains in the superb and fully restored Kilkenny Castle, and in the thriving and cosmopolitan merchant city. Kilkenny offers a unique selection of historic sites and buildings from the 7th century onwards reflecting a tradition of monastic settlement and gracious living.

Bad Karma in Kilkenny?

After a long flight and a lot of jet lag, being stuck in a car was not an ideal way to begin Ireland, but we were on limited time and had to push ourselves like the traveling Olympians we were.  We were attempting to see a lot in only a few days so we planned to go from Dublin to Cork the first day with a stop in Kilkenny to see the Kilkenny Castle.   The ride there was pretty interesting.  First off, the radio stations were all talk radio or country music.  In fact...

Wow, so Dublin was... hectic but we are now in Kilkenny, a beautiful town just south west of Dublin. It has been raining for most of the trip but the clouds finally broke today and it is gorgeous outside! Yesterday we drove from Dublin to Kilkenny, making stops at Glendolaugh. The original plan was to drive over the Sally Gap, but the weather was so bad and the visibility so poor that the gap was closed, which meant we didn't get to see the Guinness Mansion and lake and had to take a detour. ...

The previous night at Kilkenny was a good one. Perhaps because it was our last. We arrived at around 6pm and the walk from where the bus was parked to our hostel was quite a long one! The hostel was piss poor. But we had pizza at an outlet before heading out to a pub till about 1am. After which we hit the street, we even ran into a bloke who used to be in prison and now was a drug dealer.... and he had interesting stories to tell us. It was real fun. So no surprises than that we wo...

Alquilamos un coche por 8 días y comenzamos la ruta. Primera parada en en Kilkenny. Preciosa ciudad, con un magnifico castillo, y calles muy bonitas, coloristas y animadas. Fue muy agradable pasear por ellas.
