a great base to explore the surrounding areas

by globetrott - last update: Nov 3, 2006

Killarney is one of the most touristy places in Ireland. Many people choose Killarney as a base to explore the Ring of Kerry and maybe also Dingle-Peninsula.
In Killarney you may find many modern hotels in american-style and I am quite sure that many people, who never dare to explore the area around Killarney will fly home again and think that the city of Killarney is typical irish...
Step OUT into the country-side around Killarney and dare to leave the beaten tourist-paths...
The wilderness AROUND Killarney is a lot more interesting than the few pubs around of your "Best Western Hotels" in downtown of Killarney....

 Have just spent the weekend at Killarney in Queensland, Australia. It was settled by the Irish and named after their hometown, Killarney in Ireland. Thought I would have a look what its like.

 Michael, happy new year. Fabulous page about this Irish city. On my first trip to Ireland I also used Killarny as a sort of base to explore the surrounding area. Keep up the good work ... :-)

 Graet tips and pictures! A lot of amaizing sites to see for me including Sneem, Connor Pass, beehive-huts and a village of the stone-age in Dingle island.

 These places are all very familiar to me so it is interesting to see it through somebody else's eyes. I agree about Killarney, but the countryside in kerry is just spectacular. Loved the photos of Skellig and gallorus.
