Sightseeing

Kilkenny is a medieval town with some great history, sadly quite a bit of it was knocked in the sixties but you can still stroll the laneways and see many of the historical buildings.
Great history in this cathedral, and if you get a chance to climb the tower do as there are great views of Kilkenny.

The Castle and the castle grounds are a must-see. A local tip - the backfield of the castle is great for a picnic, it's a wild meadow and there is also a lovely walk down by the canal just outside the castle walls.

The craic

There is always something on in Kilkenny, throughout the year there are loads of festivals so keep an eye out on your visit.
This historical spot was the home of Alice Kytler, the first woman tried for witchcraft in Ireland. Her trial dates to before the Salam witch trials. If you are interested in witch stories then buy the book Her Kind by Niamh Boyce is a brilliant historical fiction read based on the story. Kytelers nowadays is great for pub food and the craic so definitely have a look.

This is a unique spot run by the local cardiologist. It's tiny and you'll definitely strike up conversations whether you want or not. It's a hidden gem and you'll find it in a small lane off High Street. Often there is music in the room upstairs. If you're open to the unexpected, stop in here for a drink.

Food scene

Campagne has a Michellan star and if you're a foodie it's a must. Make sure you book in advance though.

Zuni is a nice place for breakfast in the lounge area out front and for an evening meal in the back. It's more of a fine dining experience than a pub meal and the food is really nice.

This is a nice place to sit for a few hours and watch the day go by. It's a relaxed pub food restaurant and is a great place to stay on and chat for a few drinks afterwards. This is as popular with the locals as it is with tourists.

The Left Bank is a great place for a drink at night, an older crowd drinks downstairs and upstairs is a nightclub. It also doubles as a great pub grub place during the day.

Aran is a great cafe. There is a bakery on one side of the road and a restaurant on the other. It's a great spot for lunch with pastries that will leave you coming back for more.
