Let's start with the fact that Killarney is located on the territory of a unique national park, so nature and fresh air simply enchant each visitor to the city. Picturesque beauty is the first sight of the city. A tourist can walk throughout the urban area, enjoy amazing beauty, and spend time on a rather small urban area. But, despite the fact that the city is much less than Dublin or Cork, there are numerous attractions, both natural and architectural and historical. Let's start with natural.
Lake Killarney / The Lakes of Killarney.
When visiting the lakes, tourists always wonder, visit these excellent places as part of excursion groups, or go there on their own. But the majority of tourists prefer something like a mixed version, combining a small journey on cars, pony and boats. Impressive, like this and I thought, and decided to choose this particular option. And everything is happening this way: along the northern part of the lower lake to the most cottages Kate Kyrney, from the city of Killerni, the group moves on open machines; Then, from there are put forward on the pony; After it is worth a choice to walk or go again on cars on the territory of Darlau gorge to the territory of the upper lake, and then go on boats to the water journey to the middle lake. I was impressed as it is really very exciting and interesting.
The lakes themselves are located in the picturesque mountainous area, so on the background of the mountains, they look simply amazing. Killarney's mountainous terrain has been formed during the activity of glaciers.
Lake Lin, or the Lake, is considered the largest. A small strip of earth, the lake is separated from the middle lake, or, as they call, Lake Macro. And the already narrow canal is already connecting these two lakes with the top, which is the smallest. At an altitude of about 800 meters, where the mountains rise, there are several more small lakes, formed by Karas.
Tourists come to true delight from such beauty of nature, because, in addition to charming lakes, on a mountainous background, the lakes envelop dense forest arrays. There are huge ferns, majestic oaks, strawberry bushes, and in summer, the hills slopes cover amazing rhododendrons. The journey reminds a trip to a kind of paradise, and I believe that that is why tourists are truly admired by Ireland.
Church of Agadoe / Aghadoe Church.
The church is located just five kilometers from the city of Killarney, and not so long ago she belonged to the monastery. The walls of the Church are made by the Ohamic letter, namely, the stone that inserted into the southern church wall. From here there is an amazing view of the hills of Pape Twins, as well as from here very clearly visible Mount Carranto and Manbonon. But in the south-west of the church of Agadoe, there were still ruins of some kind of round shape, which surrounded walls and ditch. Presumably, it was a kind of protective structure that served as a support of many hundreds of years.
Ross Castle.
The castle stands on the shore of Loche Loh Lane, in the most beautiful Killarney National Park. Many, the castle is also known as the generic estate of Clan O'Donahu. Being built at the end of the 15th century, the castle belonged to a more famous family Brown family.
This is a typical medieval building having thick walls of stone, a traditional rectangular tower and several small towers in the corners.
Tourists can make a small walk, get acquainted with the internal interior of the castle, which still stores beautiful oak furniture, which dates back to 16-17 centuries.
True Irish consider Ross Castle - a symbol of independence and struggle for it.
In addition to the inspection of the castle itself, visitors are provided with a unique opportunity to stroll through its surroundings, because the castle is located at the lake itself, picturesque and in its own way special. In combination with green Irish meadows, which look infinitely, the castle looks very mysterious.

Manor Macro House.
In six kilometers from Killarney, in County Kerry, there is an excellent mansion that belonged to the Herbert family, which was built in the 19th century. The manor is located in the heart of the Killarian National Park, and annually takes a very large number of visitors.
In 1861, Queen Victoria sees in the manor, since the structure was made in a Victorian style and represents great interest not only among tourists, but among connoisseurs of architecture. After all, after a rather long restoration conducted in the 60s, the estate reopened again for visitors, and, to date, the estate is attended annually about a quarter of a million people.
To the east of the estate there is a farm Macro to Fam / Muckross Farm, which can also be visited and get acquainted closer with labor weekdays of rural residents. Here you will see a whole complex that consists of three real, familiar and traditional farms of Ireland: small, medium, large. In the economic buildings they keep birds and other pets, and other economic equipment is located in the rest of the places, as well as the binding of ordinary farmers. I would say that they do not have a lung work, and the obligations are enough for the whole day. Even a little amazing how they manage to do so much.
National Transport Museum / Museum of Irish Transport.
The museum offers visitors to get acquainted closer with ancient Irish transport. An amazing collection of vintage cars, just amazes. And the pearl collection is Silver Stream - 1907 and Woolceli Sidderley - 1910. It was on the car of Woolcelli siddly, a long time ago, the famous artist Eitts traveled. Moreover, tourists can observe not only rare vintage cars, but also unique bicycles and motorcycles of those times.
The East Wang road, which leads to the bus station, is the location of the National Museum of Transport. The museum is considered to be a real pride of all Ireland.
