Ever heard of Limerick, the ‘Treaty City’? It’s got a fascinating history, a lively atmosphere, and a whole lot of Irish charm. Let me be your guide!

Limerick‘s story is one of resilience. From its Viking founding to its role in the Irish Civil War, the city’s past is woven into its very fabric. Explore King John’s Castle, a 13th-century fortress that overlooks the mighty River Shannon – it’s a sight to behold! A trip to the Hunt Museum is always worth it, with its diverse collection of art and antiquities from around the world.

Want to feel the pulse of the city? Head to the Milk Market, a bustling weekend market where you’ll find everything from local food producers to craft stalls and live music. Of course, rugby is practically a religion in Limerick – if you get the chance to catch a match at Thomond Park, the atmosphere is absolutely electric! Feeling peckish? Limerick has a growing foodie scene with quirky cafes and restaurants popping up all the time.

Honestly, sometimes Limerick gets a bit of flack, but I think this city is a true hidden gem. So, how about exploring its fascinating past, sampling some delicious food, or simply soaking up the vibrant atmosphere? There’s more to Limerick than meets the eye!
