It’s a travesty that Limerick is better known as a rhyming scheme than a destination, given that the city fizzes with culinary, sporting and, above all, historical delights. Where else would you be able to weave through magnificent Edwardian, medieval, contemporary and Georgian areas during a lunchtime amble?
A weekend in Limerick reveals its cultural vibrancy. This working-class city is modernising at an invigorating speed, while still holding true to the Irish way of life that enamours visitors – it is in the traditional west of Ireland, after all. So, expect convivial pubs, grub, trad music and plenty of rugby action, alongside snazzy cocktail bars and terrific shopping opportunities.
