Kilkenny has an option for every budget with gorgeous hotels, practical hostels, delightful B&B’s and unique guesthouses and camping and glamping.
Located in the South East of the country, Kilkenny is never too far from where you land on our shores. Whether you’re coming by plane, boat or automobile we’re rarely more than 2 hours down the road.
Fly in to any of these airports and rent a car to be in Kilkenny in less than 2 hours. Dublin (90mins via M9), Cork (<2hrs via M8), Shannon (<2hrs via M8) or Waterford (<1hr via M9).
Sail to Dublin or Rosslare, and bring your car or rent one. Then Kilkenny is 90mins away from Rosslare Harbour and 100mins away from Dublin Port.
Direct bus routes to the city from Dublin, Waterford, Carlow and Cork (via Waterford) are run by JJ Kavanaghs and Dublin Coach. With trains from Dublin and Waterford too.
