Begin your Killarney walking tour at Main Street, the vibrant heart of this picturesque Kerry town, where you can enjoy a hearty lunch at Cronin’s Restaurant on College Street. This traditional spot serves up classic Irish dishes like lamb stew or fresh seafood, affordable, no bookings needed for small groups, but arrive early to beat the Saturday lunch crowd.
Stroll along High Street to St Mary’s Cathedral, a striking 19th-century Gothic Revival masterpiece with soaring arches and stained glass, evoking the timeless grandeur of a historical painting. From there, wander up New Street to Killarney House and Gardens, a restored 18th-century estate with manicured lawns, offering a serene pause steeped in elegance.
Next, head towards College Street and pop into O’Connor’s Coffee Shop for a rich hot chocolate or artisan coffee. If you’re after something more upscale, The Brehon Hotel’s Danú Restaurant on Muckross Road offers refined dining with local ingredients in a sophisticated setting.
Finish your walk by looping to Muckross Road, where a short stroll leads to Killarney National Park’s edge, and the tranquil shores of Lough Leane provide a scenic end to your tour. Take a moment at the Deenagh Lodge, a charming 19th-century gatehouse. This 1-2 mile route captures Killarney’s historic charm, local eats, and natural beauty.
