City in Ireland
Limerick
3 things to see
Limerick is an often-overlooked riverside city on the River Shannon, less touristy than Dublin or Galway and cheaper as a result. Walking the riverbank and the streets around King John’s Castle costs nothing, and the covered Milk Market is free to browse for a good-value bite, especially on market days. It makes a practical, low-cost base for the west of Ireland.
