Although records show Limerick is one of the largest cities in Ireland, few visitors would guess the fact after the welcome they receive here. Its easily walkable Old Town dates back to the medieval era and features St Mary’s Cathedral, while the thirteenth century King John’s Castle is another unmissable sight, named after the same King John who appears in the tales of Robin Hood. Before departing, art fans will be sure to enjoy a trip to the collections of the Hunt Museum, while for a little bit of everyday Irish life look no further than the centrally-located milk market.
