Killarney is a center of activity all year round. The name Killarney comes from "Cill Airne" - The Church of Sloes. Killarney became recognized as a town in 1750 when Lord Kenmare developed the first tourist business and 4 major roads were built for communications. It is the ideal playground for the sporting enthusiast - you can fish (salmon & trout), swim, golf, play tennis, ride a pony or horse, paddle a canoe or climb a mountain. Killarney is also a fine shopping town with many craft shops where fine handmade Irish goods may be purchased. When evening comes, forget about relaxing; now you can sample the vast range of entertainment on offer from candlelight dinners to singing and music sessions in pubs, traditional dancing, cabaret shows or discos.
