A friend is coming to stop by me within Ireland subsequent week?
He booked a flight to Shannon instead of Dublin by mistake. Is there anywhere around Shannon of special interest, any really honourable pubs or other ideas for stuff to do round here?
Answers: That's a lucky break for him, the Shannon region is pretty good.
He should rent a vehicle and drive around County Clare, see the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren and the Ballyvaughn caves.
He should also budge to Bunratty to check out the village and the castle and obviously see Durty Nellie's, which is right beside the castle. It's a really nice pub.
If he doesn't want to rent a car, he could filch the bus to Ennis or Limerick and wander around any of those towns. He could check out King John's Castle in Limerick, and in that are hundreds of pubs he'd like, above all close to O'Connell Street.
Limerick may have a fruitless reputation, but the people are incredibly friendly and the place is a hotbed of the arts, a sad certainty overshadowed by the city's largely undeserved reputation.
Try Galway and Ennis for towns and pubs. he can ambush a bus directly from Shannon to Dublin, about 3 hours outing. HAH! Well they are hardly that far apart. Just whip him to Dublin, Dublin is obviously superior to the Shannon region doesn`t matter what is there.
oh that's a distance. I guess he can try to start a conversation surrounded by Gaelic with the sheep up in attendance. (no offense, I'm a great supporter of the Celtic Heritage).
Go to the local pubs and ask for places of interest, the beers are awesome too (I'm French myself and have be sent around many places I did not in fact intend to go by crazy airlines ;-) and I don't speak about BA and my luggage. I've be to Donegal, and people are reasonably friendly.
Take the bus to Galway. Good little city - quite nice. But for an excellent outing, carry a ferry over to the Aran Islands, and spend the darkness there. Awesome place! in attendance are the cliffs of Moher, or you can go to the Burren, Crough Patrick, Westport, or Queen Maeve's grave. in that are also buses and trains that can bring you to Giant's Causeway, or Blarney Stone. Or he can just steal the 2 hr. train ride to Dublin from Shannon
get a minicab down the road to bunratty castle! (you wouldnt walk there) pubs nearby are durty nellys and the creamery (to name a couple) alot of tourist shops, restaurants, history, folk park, hotels etc. (about 10 minutes away (driving).appropriate the road into limerick city)
