Kilkenny: a medieval town


UCD's International Office planned a trip to Kilkenny a few Sundays ago. Kilkenny is about an hour or south south east of Dublin. 12 euros paid for lunch (tea sandwiches & soup), transportation, and a castle tour. We also had about 2-3 hours to explore the little town after lunch.

It was a gorgeous day to go out. The castle has a big park open to the public and it was full of families and friends spending a day out in the sun.

Kilkenny is advertised to tourists as a medieval town. There is one main road into the city with only one lane for each direction of traffic. The streets around the town are narrow and has small alleyways around.
