nice view of lake

Muckross House is a beautifully preserved 19th-century house set against the stunning backdrop of Muckross lake and the surrounding mountains. The house, now a museum, offers a glimpse into Ireland’s aristocratic past with its period rooms and impressive gardens.

Be surprised at how the Celts traded copper all throughout Europe and even to Africa

A beautiful waterfall, a little hidden :-)

We really enjoyed visiting Ross Castle in Killarney. This castle is particularly impressive from the outside and the surroundings with the beautiful lake are just totally romantic. I personally didn't find the interior that spectacular, but once you've had a look around the castle you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view at the top!

The hike to O'Sullivan's Cascade feels like a little journey into another time. Hidden deep in Tomies Wood, the waterfall flows down several steps into the green depths. The path there leads through dense oak forest, which immediately captivates you. As soon as you have taken the first steps, you are surrounded by the calming sound of water and the rustling of leaves - an almost magical atmosphere. What I particularly liked: O'Sullivan's Cascade is often quieter and less crowded than the famous Torc waterfall. It is even said that whisky once cascaded down the rocks, or so the legend goes. But today it is pure, crystal-clear water that makes its way through the moss, creating small rainbows in the spray. Plan a short break right by the waterfall. There is something calming about the place, and the light that falls through the trees transforms the surroundings into a true natural painting. The path is a bit rocky in some places, but the view and the silence are definitely worth it.

The national park borders directly on Killarney and after just a few steps you forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Killarney's own 'city park' The recently restored Killarney House and Gardens brings Killarney National Park right into the heart of our city and has created the largest city park in the world. The restoration of the house and formal gardens has partly revived the style of 18th century French chateaux and a 20th century Edwardian estate. Restoration work on the landscaped gardens is ongoing. In the 1950s the house was purchased by John McShain of the USA. Mr. McShain was an Irish-American building contractor known as 'The Man Who Built Washington'. He built the Pentagon and the Jefferson Memorial in the US Capitol, among other buildings. In the 1970s he sold the house and thousands of acres of parkland to the Irish State for a symbolic sum, ensuring that the Irish public could enjoy it forever. The uniqueness of Killarney House and its gardens is that they open up the town centre to the stunning panorama of the National Park. This magnificent property is a prologue to some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the world. Access to Killarney's newest attraction is either via a new side entrance next to the statue of Monsignor O'Flaherty on Mission Road or via the wonderfully restored 'Golden Gates' on Muckross Road. Three centuries of garden styles will be reflected in the restoration and landscaping work. (Source: https://www.killarneyparkhotel.ie/our-killarney/killarney-national-park/killarney-house/)
