3 things to see
Killarney is the gateway to its namesake national park, where free hiking and cycling through lakes, castles, and mountains could fill days on end. The park is free to enter, and the lakeside trails and Ross Castle grounds make for full days that cost nothing beyond getting there. It connects by rail to Cork and Dublin, so it slots into a budget loop through southern Ireland. Shoulder months bring lower room rates and quieter trails than the summer peak.
