What to do and see in Limerick, Province of Munster: The Best Free Things to do
There once was an Irish city… You might think "naughty poem" when you hear the word Limerick, but in truth the city inspires so much more than just knowing giggles. Medieval castles and churches give the city a grand feel, while the pubs crawl with lively locals and students who are all craving just one more pint of Guinness. The Hunt Museum boasts a collection of pieces from history's most important and influential artists, while the Foynes Flying Boat Museum will marvel visitors of all ages with its whimsical flying machines.

A misty Sunday morning walk took me up the mountains of Ballyhoura. I would suggest to GPS Ballyhoura Car Park before setting out as this will bring you to the beginning of the walk. The walk itself can become steep at times taking you past a ringfort and up over many hills and mountains including Seefin Mountain and a good workout. It is an area with many rocks and shadows in the distance and carries an air of mystery about it. There is a presence of steeping back thousands of years while standing within this environment. I came in early January which led to lots of bog land, though there is always access through.

4. Mother Macs
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 61 reviews
Mother Macs Public House has been described as a hidden Gem in the citys nightlife. It focuses on providing good quality beers in a relaxed and quirky environment. The bar doesn't take itself too seriously and this is reflected in the casual banter (conversation) which occurs between staff and customers. It boosts one of the largest selections of craft beers in the city offering regular offers and specials. The team work with local/national/international breweries to bring the freshest product to the customers and the effort has been recognised by the beer loving public. The bar itself externally has undergone a complete transformation and displays traditional sign writing techniques of local sign writer Tom Collins. The interior has remained relatively untouched but a number of quirky touches have been added.

Amazing pub and a must- visit when in Limerick. Superb beer selection, very comfortable and charismatic surroundings with friendly staff who took time to tell us about the local craft beer offerings ; the Treaty City Shannon River IPA was made only half a mile away (!) and was sublime. Great place, just like the City itself

We went for a large group event which utilised the large back room and later a smaller bar that showed a screening of a short film. The spaces were all different but the staff were consistently friendly & helpful. The front bar area had a buzz to it and wasn't too rowdy for a Friday night. It's a little bit of a walk back to the main shopping area - so you may prefer a short taxi ride to walking in the autumn/winter.

An outdoor flea market selling everything from produce to secondhand jewelry.
Reviewed By Paulo5678 - Limerick, Ireland
A visit to the Saturday Market located in the Milk Market should be on your agenda if you are visiting Limerick. Given the current circumstances the number of stall holders is slightly reduced but the quality of the food and other produce on offer is second to none. The market is open from about 8am - 2pm. Bring a big bag - you will need it!

They have Murphys, Beamish and Guinness on tap and they have a real stove. A real stove!! Need I say more? Yes, I will say more. They have an open mic poetry night on Wednesday. Some very very very weird nights in there which I wont go into any further. Great spot for a quiet cosy pint.
