Travel Notes: Love for Limerick as a staycation destination

— is it a case of 'thatch me if you can' in Adare?

King John's Castle

The first staycation of 2021 is officially…booked!

This week, I finally clicked 'go' on that much-awaited summer getaway, bagging a break to perhaps one of Ireland’s most unheralded destinations. Yes, Limerick. The urban capital of the legend-seeped Shannon, Limerick might not be the most trending option for a holiday — I just wrote last week that the city is currently experiencing the lowest hotel bookings so far his year in the Republic. But with a combo of wishing to don the green (and white) jersey plus my own gusto for exploring Ireland’s cities with a little less crowd-surfing this summer, I finally booked a date night in Ireland’s Midwest.
