 Other Attractions


Situated on the mouth of the River Shannon, Limerick has been an important gateway city for over 800 years.Due to the city's location on the midpoint of the Atlantic Corridor, nearness to Shannon Airport (12 Miles) and good supply of reasonably priced hotels it has become something of a base city for tourists travelling along the west coast of Ireland, although the city has many attractions in its own right.King John's Castle in the medieval quarter of the city is arguably the best known attraction in the city, dating back to 922AD.
