Go to Kilkenny during the summer, Ireland

► added on 26th of February, 2009

I love Kilkenny, while it is crowded in the Summer, it is a perfect place to visit. It is really very small, but there are many things to do and admire. You can go to small hops to buy nice pieces of handycraft. There are many lovely places to eat and drink a good beer. The castle and city center are full of interesting little corners to explore, and the walk by the river Nore is a great place to imagine what life was like in this city in the late Middle Ages. The old buildings are very well preserved. I really love to go there.
