Celebrated mainly for its stunning lakes and Killarney National Park, the small town of Killarney in southwest Ireland, County Kerry, is favoured by lovers of the outdoors. The walking and cycling here are great and there are many cultural attractions of note, including ancient castles, monasteries, churches and cathedrals.

Most people come to see Killarney’s lakes and the national park, and the whole area is one of outstanding natural beauty. The Muckross House and Gardens are the entrance to Killarney National Park and are one of the main highlights, with their folk museum and extensive gardens, while the Gap of Dunloe, Ross Castle and St Mary’s Cathedral are other Killarney highlights.

Kerry Airport is the gateway to Killarney, situated just a few kilometres from the town centre and receiving flights from Ireland, the UK and other European countries. The airport has one small terminal and all the facilities you’ll need, including ATMs, currency exchange, a duty-free shop, a bar and restaurant, as well as a post office and first-aid facilities.
