Day One: History, Food & Local Culture
Start your morning with a full Irish breakfast before strolling into the city centre. Visit The Hunt Museum, home to fascinating works of art and historic artefacts, or enjoy a walk through the People’s Park and nearby Georgian Quarter.
At lunchtime, sample local flavours at one of Limerick’s many cafés or bistros, or if it’s the weekend, head straight to the Milk Market for artisan produce and lively street food.
In the afternoon, explore more of the city’s cultural side or enjoy some shopping on O’Connell Street. Return to the hotel for a relaxing swim or steam in Energize Leisure Centre, then dine in style at the River Bar & Restaurant, where local ingredients and warm Irish hospitality come together perfectly.
Day Two: Shopping, Sport & Scenic Views
After another delicious breakfast, set out to discover more things to do in Limerick. Cross Sarsfield Bridge to visit King John’s Castle, explore the riverside walks, or browse the shops throughout Limerick City or visit the Crescent Shopping Centre.
If you’re lucky enough to visit on match day, take the short trip to Thomond Park Stadium, the home of Munster Rugby, and soak up the unforgettable atmosphere of a live game.
Return to the hotel for a final nightcap in the River Bar, watching the city lights dance on the Shannon. With so much to see and do just minutes from your room, 48 hours in Limerick is just enough time to fall in love with this vibrant riverside city.
