Kilkenny is over 400 years old, but it sure doesn’t show its age. Yes, it's an awe-inspiring throng of medieval cathedrals, castles, abbeys and other massive stone buildings, but Kilkenny loves to party. An endless stream of arts festivals celebrating theater, comedy, bluegrass and dance is constantly pumping the city with new life, toe-tapping energy and international flavor.

All the activities were lots of fun & suitable for all ages even if I found the tree top walk a lil sketchy :) The staff were very knowledgeable & engagable. Would definitely return
5. The Hole in the Wall

My husband and I took a day trip from Dublin that included a 2 1/2 h visit to Kilkenny. The absolute best thing about the trip is that we wandered into the Hole in the Wall Pub! You will see their sign at the street that tells you there is no wi-fi, advertises their Irish Coffee and directs you down the alley to the pub. Patrick the bar tender was so friendly and knowledgeable and his Irish coffee, topped with a heart, was so good, it makes me want to return to Ireland. This place fulfills the desire to interact with the bar tender and the "regulars" and gives the type of experience that you will treasure when you return home.
