Known also as ‘the marble city’, Kilkenny is an iconic Irish city. Built of dark grey limestone, Kilkenny still preserves its medieval heritage which is apparent in historic buildings such as Kilkenny Castle, St. Canice’s Cathedral, and of course in the picturesque ‘Medieval Mile’ that spreads along the bank of River Nore. Alongside its historical heritage, Kilkenny is also renowned for its art and craft workshops, museums and public gardens. In Kilkenny you’ll soak up the authentic Irish vibe, enjoy excellent food, and buy some great crafts to take back home.
