With its stylish New York-inspired surroundings and signature Josper grill, Hamptons is perfect for a relaxed lunch in the centre of Limerick.

Enjoy grilled meats, seafood, fresh salads and seasonal dishes before heading back out to discover more of the city.

Georgian Limerick & The People’s Park

Spend the afternoon strolling through Limerick’s elegant Georgian Quarter.

Explore Pery Square, wander through The People’s Park and discover independent shops, cafés and boutiques along the way.

If shopping is on the agenda, Limerick’s main shopping streets are all within easy walking distance of both The Savoy Hotel and The George Hotel.

Or, for something a little more indulgent, return to The Savoy Hotel and enjoy Afternoon Tea in The Library.

Settle into a comfortable chair surrounded by books and enjoy an elegant selection of savouries, freshly baked treats and sweet indulgences.

Dinner & Drinks in Limerick

As evening arrives, Limerick’s dining scene comes alive.

Head to Vincenzo Grill House & Bar at The George Hotel for a relaxed evening of great food, cocktails and city-centre atmosphere.

Vincenzo is ideal for everything from a casual dinner to sharing plates and drinks with friends.

Alternatively, enjoy dinner at Hamptons Bar & Grill, where the Josper grill takes centre stage.

After dinner, make your way to The Savoy Bar.

Inspired by the glamour and elegance of The Savoy’s heritage, it is an ideal place to enjoy cocktails, wine or a nightcap before retiring for the evening.

And with your room just moments away, there is no need to worry about getting home.

Morning: Lough Gur

Head south towards Lough Gur, one of Ireland’s most important archaeological landscapes.

Surrounded by rolling countryside, Lough Gur has been home to people for thousands of years and offers visitors an extraordinary glimpse into Ireland’s ancient past.

Take time to explore the lakeside landscape and visitor centre before visiting nearby Grange Stone Circle, Ireland’s largest stone circle.

It is peaceful, atmospheric and one of the most memorable places to visit in County Limerick.

Explore Medieval Kilmallock

From Lough Gur, continue towards Kilmallock, one of Ireland’s finest medieval towns.

Once an important centre of commerce, Kilmallock retains much of its medieval character and offers visitors the chance to discover another fascinating chapter in County Limerick’s history.

Take a walk through the town before setting off towards one of Limerick’s most famous villages.

Afternoon in Adare

No trip to Limerick is complete without a visit to Adare.

Often described as one of Ireland’s prettiest villages, Adare is famous for its picture-postcard thatched cottages, historic buildings, boutiques, cafés and welcoming pubs.

Take time to stroll through the village, browse the shops and enjoy lunch or coffee before exploring the surrounding countryside.

Adare will also welcome visitors from around the world for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, making Limerick one of Ireland’s most exciting destinations over the coming years.

Alternative Route: Follow the Shannon

If you would prefer to explore West Limerick, head from the city along the Shannon Estuary instead.

Stop at Curragh Chase Forest Park for a woodland walk before continuing towards Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum.

Discover the fascinating story of the flying boats that once connected Europe and America, and learn how the world-famous Irish Coffee was created in Foynes for weary transatlantic travellers.

If time allows, continue towards the pretty village of Glin before turning back towards the city.

For visitors who enjoy walking or cycling, a section of the Limerick Greenway also makes a wonderful addition to the day.

Back to Limerick City

After a full day exploring the county, return to Limerick City for one final evening.

Freshen up at The Savoy or The George before heading out for dinner.

Enjoy a final meal at Hamptons Bar & Grill, relax over food and cocktails at Vincenzo, or start the evening with drinks at The Savoy Bar.

Whether your idea of the perfect night is a relaxed dinner, cocktails with friends or a quiet drink after a busy day exploring, everything is within easy reach.
