Absolutely beautiful castle. We did a guided tour and the guide was phenomenal. Extremely kind, patient, and intelligent. She was fabulous. I highly recommend taking a tour with her as we never would have gotten as much out of it if we didn't go with her. Best decision we made.
Beautiful castle and grounds. We bought tickets in advance online which is recommended, though there was no line when we arrived anyway about 11am on a Sunday. We did the self tour and although I’m sure we missed out on a lot of information that a guided tour would provide, I felt we got enough out of the self tour to make it more than worth it. Especially enjoyed the art gallery. Be sure to take the extra time to explore the castle grounds before or after your visit.
Liked the architecture of the place. The paintings and tapestry were great. Really enjoyed the tapestries just before the exit, those inspired from the French Bayeux Tapestry. Loved the big hall, you MUST look at the ceiling and those statues hanging there. Beautiful! Staff was nice and friendly.
Kilkenny Castle is beautiful, located right on the bank of the River Nore. The grounds are very well maintained, and offer loads of open space including a playground too. The gardens are nice and well maintained also. The interior of the castle is in great shape and there are lots of things to see and read about if you don't choose to go on the guided tour. The main hall is huge and has a very cool ceiling, as well as lots of artwork portraits and items of interest. It's definitely a good place to spend the afternoon.
Such a beautiful and interesting place! The OPW have done a magnificent job restoring and maintaining this castle. Makes it easy to imagine life for the people who lived there. Definitely worth a visit. We ran out of time to properly explore the gardens, which are free to enter with no ticket - leave some time for that, in addition to the castle interior.
The best castle ever that I visited as it's not ruin castle, it's still standing and inside you can visit museum the location is unlike other castle in Ireland, it's the middle City of Kilkenny!! How cool is that? You walk around the green garden or flower garden is great thing.... You Also can view the river....
Beautiful place to visit. You can choose from giuded or self-guided tours of the castle. There are many QR codes and signs for additional information as you walk through each room if you choose self-guided. The rooms, furnishings and grounds are beautifully maintained. The town surrounding the castle is beautiful as well with more sights than can be seen in a day. All in all well definitely worth the trip.
We booked a guided tour only €12 pp. The tour guide was great, so much interesting information, added to our experience. A beautiful castle set in glorious parkland. We went to the Tea Room, delicious homemade cakes. Well worth a visit.
Stunning old castle in a great town! Great historical castle excellently restored with magnificent art room, dining room and gardens. Normally 8€ but today it was free. Staff are super friendly...being Irish I expect nothing less. Great location too. Not sure about amenities for disabled but toilets are available along with a tea room. Excellent visit. My visit: 15th October 2018.
It was for a solo trip that I visited this castle. I went thanks to get your guide and the I discovered this nice castle in this small town that has a lot of story.the garden that is surroundings these old building is well maintained and the fountains in summer is refreshing you. You can visit but you have to pay something like six or eight euros that is Fair
