Limerick is in line with the pan-European trend of developing urban green areas. All green areas and city parks are a refuge for birds and small animals, as well as a place for rest for residents and tourists.
European Embrace is also the dissemination and popularization of national heritage and local history. In this area, all kinds of monuments and memorials located in various parts of the city play an undeniable role.
Limerick is a city full of contrasts, a place for all kinds of activities. One of the places developed on a European scale is the Shannon River embankment. Aesthetically arranged space allows you to relax in the bosom of nature without leaving the city.
