I'm flying into Shannon Ireland in a couple of weeks and need a good place to stay near Tralee.?

Question

I'm backbacking and not certain if Tralee is the place to go but would like a small but fun small town to spend the night and get my bearings. Any suggestions??

Answer 1

I'm not certain about Tralee because when I was there we didn't stay overnight...but one place I would suggest is Dingle, a little out west of that...bike riding there along the coast with all of the fishermen bringing in their boats in the 'wee' hours of the morning! SO nice! :) I'm so jealous you're going! :)

Answer 2

Hi there, I actually live in Clare, which is where Shannon airport in located & I think that the best "small but fun" town for you to be visit would Ennis, the mian town in Clare.

Ennis is just 12 miles / 19 kilomentres from Shannon & buses go frequently (see link to timetable below).

Ennis is very lively, with lovely shops (both hight street & local craft/tourist)great pubs & restaurants - everything from cheap & cheerful to a bit more exclusive.  There are also some great Bed & Breakfasts & hostels in the small town which will be no trouble to find.

Hope you have a nice stay in Ireland.
