The town of Killarney, in County Kerry, is one of the true jewels of the southern part of Ireland, with beautiful green landscapes and a historical pedigree that, even in this country of castles and churches, stands comparison with any destination. With historic sites dating back to the 7th century, this is a place that is filled with sight-seeing destinations in such a way that the name “Killarney” is known well beyond the Irish nation, despite the town’s small size - the civic population being just under 15,000 people. In close proximity to other destinations, including Cork and Limerick, this spellbinding tourist destination is a stopping point you shouldn’t miss on any trip to the province of Munster. Check out the best Vrbo vacation rentals in Killarney, Ireland below. There is so much to see here that it merits at least an overnight stay.

If you’re seeking a uniquely Irish experience, then you’ll certainly find it here!

Plenty of outdoor seating means you can enjoy meals and drinks while looking at the magnificent surrounding scenery.
