    Welcome to Limerick

Ireland’s third largest city and first City of Culture, Limerick is also its most friendly and welcoming destination; a cultural hotbed, renowned for its many archaeological and historic wonders; the economic core of Ireland’s Mid-West but widely known for its warmth and home town feel.

Few regions offer the magical blend of City and County quite like Limerick. With a whole host of superb accommodation options, family fun festivals, exciting arts and cultural events and award-winning restaurants, shopping, buzzing nightlife, top class activities and attractions, Limerick truly has something for everyone to enjoy!

Limerick is synonymous with sport so it doesn’t matter whether you prefer to spectate or participate, one thing you can rely on is that there is some major sporting action for you to enjoy while visiting Limerick City and County.

It has often been said that perhaps Limerick’s biggest attraction of all is the people themselves who are warm, witty and welcoming! So whether you are visiting city or county, or both, you are sure to enjoy your stay.
