One of Limerick’s main tourist attractions is King John’s Castle, a great example of Norman architecture built in 1205. Another great building worth your time is St. John’s Cathedral built in 1861 which features the tallest spire in the country at 94 meters (308 feet) tall.

One other feature that most visitors to Limerick will find an interesting pull will be the Limerick Milk Market – open in the weekend only – which despite its name is a hive of activity revolving around selling anything and everything from art and books to clothes and fresh food, it’s a great place to waste a couple of hours just looking around and taking in the local atmosphere.

As far as museums go, the Hunt Museum features a particular collection of exhibits ranging from ancient and medieval artifacts to modern art exhibitions. Another of the city’s attractions is its rugby team and especially its supporters who are known to be the most fanatical but also most respectful in all of sport, one tradition being that the entire stadium is quiet when any player, including opponents, prepare to kick for goal.
