Why is a walking tour of Kilkenny a good idea?

Kilkenny, located in Ireland’s sunny Southeast, is one of the country’s most vibrant and lively cities.

Not only does it have some incredible attractions like Kilkenny Castle, but its winding streets are lined with charming pubs, unique eateries, and vibrant shops. Exploring all that Kilkenny has to offer is best done on foot and a walking tour of the city is an excellent way to take in its sights, sounds and culture.
