Why You Should Visit… Limerick

While we love a good trip across the seas, the reality is that we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world so we decided to take a moment and appreciate some of the fantastic spots on this fair isle. From Donegal to Dublin, we are taking an all-Ireland cyber roadtrip to find out what makes each county unique and highlight a few hidden gems that only the locals might know about. This week, it's the Lady herself... Limerick! The Her.ie team have a bit of a soft spot for Limerick and you can always be guaranteed a great night out in the city. Our top tip? Costello's Tavern... tunes, beer pong and toasted sandwiches in the early hours of the morning. It's not the fanciest of spots but if there's an end-of-night heaven, we're pretty sure it looks a bit like this. We took to Twitter to find out what you loved most and here's the pick of the bunch!
