Shannon airport is only a short drive from Limerick city and a little over an hour form Galway city. Both places are good bases from which to explore the western side of the country. There are great restaurants in both places and they cater for all price ranges. In Limerick, you cannot go without eating in The Texas Steak Out on O'Connell Street but it's a very popular spot and you will need to book in advance for an evening sitting. The Phone No is +353 61 410350 or e-mail info@texassteakout.com. There are Lot's of places to see near by too but a car is almost essential. you can hire a small car for about â‚¬30 per day at the airport. Avis is one hire company or hertz. Galway is a great City to visit also and again, a good base to explore from. There are lot's of top class restaurants, bistros etc to choose from. My favourite is The Park House Restaurant, which is a little pricey but well worth it for the service and excellent food. It has an extensive menu to cater for all tastes and set menu's are available at a reasonable price. The Phone No for booking is +353 91 564924. From either city you can visit Bunratty Castle and folk park for a look at how life was in the early part of the 20th century, The Cliffs of Moher which are truly spectacular, and many many other places that you can find info on at the tourist office. Enjoy your visit.

That's a lovely time of the year to visit the sunny south east? It would be an hour and a half drive from Shannon but well worth the visit plenty of self catering house to rent and loads of activities to suit all ages. Hope you enjoy our beautiful country!

You should try to see Bunratty Castle,its about a 15 minute drive from the Airport.It's absolutely brilliant,you get to go through the castle and folk village and if you feel like it you can go to one of the banquets.It really is like nothing you have ever seen.

Bunratty Castle is in Shannon, the castle is okay, very touristy. BUT right by the castle is Dirty Nelly's pub grab yourself some potatoe soup and a harp YUMMY!

See the ring of kerry, ring of beara, cliffs of moher, killarney national park. Galway and cork are nice towns. Anywhere along the west coast is beautiful.

HI, I LOVE IRELAND, GO THERE EVERY YEAR AND STAY IN CASTLE FOR HALLOWEEN, FROM SHANNON YOU MUST CHECK OUT ENNNIS, YOU CAN STAY AT AN OLD MANOR HOME THERE, CHEAP AS WELL, http://www.newparkhouse.com/newpage1.htm
VERY NICE, THEY WILL FEED YOU BREAKFAST, THE TOWN IS VERY CLOSE, MORE LIKE A VILLAGE, VERY QUAINT, LOTS OF PUBS TO EAT- I WOULD DEFINATLEY RENT A CAR, RENT A SMALL ONE AS THE ROAD ARE VERY SMALL. I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND KINNITTY CASTLE IF YOU LIKE THE GOTHIC CASTLE STAY, TOWN OF BIRR

go to the bar and order an irish coffee , this is where they were invented , to wake up the trans-atlantic passengers for the final leg to London, while the plane was being re-fueled.
