We need little excuse to get ourselves to Kilkenny City. After all, it's a cultural melting pot with so much to offer. The medieval city is kept vibrant and bursting with energy thanks to an endless amount of arts, crafts, festivities and entertainment. It has even been named the top trending destination this summer, beating the likes of Lisbon, Naples and Vienna. During your visit, be sure to get yourself to Kilkenny Castle for a tour (think period rooms, rose gardens, tapestries in the Great Hall and a Moorish staircase), take a stroll along the River Nore, get to St. Canice's Cathedral and Round Tower (and have yourself a beautiful view from the top) and opt for a cycling tour of the city — a superb way to see the city. Of course, it's most definitely worth your while heading to the Smithwick's Experience itself and witness 300 years of history combine with extraordinary brewing innovation.
