  To do

  Stroll Killarney's streets and admire the charming building facades, only stopping to refuel in a local pub or restaurant, before taking a 'jaunting car' (horse drawn carriage) to Muckross House and Abbey. If you prefer your pursuits slightly more active, there are endless walking and hiking trails throughout the region that can be both leisurely and challenging. The Killarney National Park is a great start.
