Known as the Emerald Isle, Ireland offers a variety of adventures for the curious traveler. One of its top cities is the city of Shannon which is renowned for its stunning landscapes, forts, castles, legendary sites, historic experiences and elegant churches.  History is discovered at every turn, including the can’t-miss world-famous Bunratty Castle and Folk Park.

Bunratty Castle was built in the 1400’s and it remains to this day Ireland's most authentic and well- preserved medieval fortress. Visitors to the castle can experience the medieval period at its finest while on a tour, as well as take photos of glorious tapestries that date back to the 17^th century. There is also the Bunratty Castle Hotel to lay your head at night after a long day of trekking around the city of Shannon.

Shannon, Ireland is also home to Shannon airport, the Hunt Museum and the Burren which boasts some of the most unusual landscapes and art collections. Visitors can tour through County Clare and see artists and craft makers do what they do best – craft and create.

The city of Shannon is very close in proximity to the city of Limerick where tourists can soak up history from even an earlier period of time such as the 1200’s. Limerick is full of charm and soulful beauty, from the Shannon Estuary in the west to the Golden Vale in the east. Located on the Shannon River, King John's Castle remains one of the most visited castles in Shannon and portrays a fine example of Roman-Saxon architecture.

When in Shannon, visitors can delve into their own Irish roots at the Clare Heritage and Genealogical Centre, while nature lovers will be delighted with a stroll along the Cliffs of Moher which stands 230 meters into the sky and offers tourists exceptional photo opportunities of the Shannon Coastline. Mingle with fellow Irish folk, listen to Celtic music, enjoy a pint of Guinness in a local pub or sit and sip Irish coffee in reflection.
