Step out of your historic digs and you’ll find yourself at the heart of Kilkenny, one of Ireland’s most unique cities whose magical medieval ambience blends seamlessly with a buzzing cosmopolitan scene. Begin with a stroll along the Medieval Mile, the famous heritage trail in the city centre starting at Kilkenny Castle just a couple minutes from your hotel. The route will take you past several city landmarks like Butler House, St Mary’s Church, and St Canice’s Cathedral with its Round Tower. A guided walking tour is a great way to discover the city, but you can also amble leisurely along and dip in and out as you go.

You won’t have to look far to sample Kilkenny’s more modern offerings, like its notorious foodie scene and an array of shopping options from high-street brands to artisan shops. As one of Ireland’s cultural hubs, the city also plays host to several festivals throughout the year, so keep an eye out for everything from Irish music to food, film, arts and comedy festivals. Further out, explore the county’s many medieval monastery ruins like the 12th-century Jerpoint Abbey or Duiske Abbey in beautiful Graiguenamanagh, admire picturesque scenery at Woodstock Gardens, or take a ride on the wild side at Castlecomer Discovery Park.
