Kilkenny, a small town hidden in the southeast of Ireland, is like a pearl forgotten by time, exuding a charming light. It is not far from the capital Dublin, like a quiet neighbor, quietly telling its own story.
1. Convenient Kilkenny Tour (🚄Transportation)
The journey to Kilkenny is very convenient. From Heuston, Dublin, take a train to Kilkenny. If you are a student, the one-way trip is only 5.8 euros, which is like a small surprise from Ireland. Just buy tickets on the website in advance and enjoy this 1.5-hour journey with peace of mind.
2. Kilkenny Castle: A fusion of history and multiculturalism (Kilkenny Castle)
When you arrive in Kilkenny, how can you miss Kilkenny Castle? The ticket price here is very affordable, the full price is 8 euros, and the student ticket is only 4 euros. After buying a ticket and entering the park, there will first be a ten-minute introduction film, like the castle's opening speech, leading you into its world. Baggage storage is free, so you can easily put aside the burden and start your exploration journey.
The castle is quite large, as big as a small historical maze. There are also Chinese manuals in the castle, which is very considerate for tourists. What is even more unexpected is that there is actually a Chinese room in the castle, which is filled with oriental decorations, which makes me sigh that the fusion of cultures is so wonderful. The castle's garden is open to the public free of charge. It is an open land of flowers, trees and greenery. Walking into the garden, it seems to have entered a green dream, with colorful flowers and green grass, and the castle behind you is like a majestic guardian. There is also a park behind the garden, where you can take a walk and feel the breeze on your face, as if you can touch the traces of time.
3. Rive Gauche/Left bank: A wonderful journey for taste buds (🍴Rive Gauche/Left bank)
When you are tired of shopping and your stomach starts to growl, Rive Gauche/Left bank becomes a perfect choice. To be honest, I am still a little confused whether this is the same store, but this does not affect the pleasure brought by the food. We walked into the store whose name is the former but whose menu is the latter. We ordered four dishes, and the taste was really amazing. The roast chicken (half) and fried squid are particularly outstanding. The roast chicken has crispy skin and tender meat, and the fried squid is chewy. The slight sweetness is like a little happiness on the tip of the tongue. At a price of 18 euros per person, you can taste such delicious food, which is very cost-effective.
4. Black Abbey: A solemn and shocking experience (The Black Abbey)
There is another place in Kilkenny that you must visit, that is The Black Abbey. (Not mentioned in the picture but can be imagined) This ancient architectural heritage, like a weathered old man, stands there quietly. As soon as you step into it, a low and solemn atmosphere comes to you, and the darkness is solemn. However, when you look up by chance, the colorful light shocks your heart in an instant. The feeling is like the dawn that suddenly appears in the darkness, which makes people calm and convinced. For friends who want to feel the charm of traditional Catholicism, this is definitely a holy place.
5. Strolling in the town: Appreciate the traditional customs of Ireland (🍰In addition to these famous attractions, strolling in the town is also a unique experience. The town is not big, and you can walk around every corner. The commercial street in the city center is full of life and you can stroll around at will. I also found that the souvenir shops here are super cheap. You can buy three T-shirts for 40€, which is much more cost-effective than Dublin. During this trip, I also unexpectedly got a free book, which is like a small gift from the town to me. Strolling on the streets of the town, the traditional scenery of the ancient town of Ireland is in full view. It is a kind of beauty that is passed down from generation to generation, which makes people intoxicated and linger.
Although the trip to Kilkenny is short, it is full of rich experiences. There are ancient castles, delicious food, solemn monasteries and charming town scenery. It is like a vivid history book, with stories on every page and unique charm in every corner. This trip made me deeply feel the unique temperament of Ireland, which is a peaceful, mysterious and vibrant atmosphere that will remain in my memory forever.
