Bisected by the majestic River Shannon, Limerick is a wonderfully incongruous mix of medieval, Georgian and modern. A city fast on the rise, Limerick has a vibrant and progressive feel, while still maintaining a strong sense of its turbulent history. Go back in time and visit buildings dating from 1,000 years ago, or wander around Limerick's fine galleries and museums. Or simply sit back by the fire in one of the city's atmospheric drinking establishments with a pint of the black stuff, and watch the world go by!
