Travel to Europe. Europe Hotel and Travel information.

If you decide to visit Ireland in August or September, you will find celebrations taking place everywhere, from food fairs to street performances. If you can't decide where to travel, the city of Kilkenny is a good option. Often described as the creative center of Ireland, this medieval city is a lively, cheerful place that almost became the capital in the mid-17th century. It offers splendid views of the Nore river and a myriad of impressive historical attractions. These include a 12th century castle, a 13th century cathedral, a Tudor merchant's house, and an old alms house. Interestingly enough, the castle has a Victorian interior. The cathedral features a round tower, dating from much earlier, probably back to the Viking era. The alms house was renovated to house a tourist office.
