Restaurants & cafés
Campagne Kilkenny's Michelin-starred destination, in a converted bar under the old railway arches on Gas House Lane, where chef Garrett Byrne cooks unfussy French food rooted in Irish produce. It is the city's serious dinner, but the early-bird and Sunday menus make the star surprisingly affordable.
Anocht at Kilkenny Design Centre The Design Centre's evening restaurant, set in the converted stables of the Castle Yard with the floodlit castle wall outside the window. The kitchen leans on small Kilkenny producers and the room is one of the prettiest fine-dining settings in town.
Trails & outdoors
Lacken Walk and Castle Park Riverside Loop A flat surfaced loop that links the fifty-acre Castle Park, the John's Bridge riverbank and the Lacken Walk on the far side of the Nore. It is the city's default daily walk and gives you the best castle, river and weir views without leaving the centre.
Nore Valley Walk: Kilkenny to Bennettsbridge A roughly 10km waymarked walk along the Nore from the Lacken car park out to Bennettsbridge, passing ruined mills, water meadows and farmland the whole way. It is the area's signature hike and a satisfying half-day out, with a bus or taxi back if you don't want to retrace.
Things to do
Smithwick's Experience An hour-long brewery tour in the original St Francis Abbey site on Parliament Street, where the monks first brewed ale in 1231 and Smithwick's red beer has been made ever since. The reconstructed brewing rooms are well done and you finish with a pint in the bar.
Watergate Theatre The city's 324-seat civic theatre on Parliament Street, programming touring drama, opera, live music and comedy through the year. It has been the cultural anchor of the centre since 1993 and the upstairs bar is a good pre-show stop.
Landmarks & sights
Kilkenny Castle The 12th-century Butler stronghold that dominates the south end of town, set in fifty acres of parkland that locals treat as their back garden. The restored state rooms and Long Gallery are worth the timed ticket, but the grounds and rose garden are free and the real reason people keep coming back.
St Canice's Cathedral and Round Tower The 13th-century cathedral at the top of the Medieval Mile, paired with a 9th-century round tower that is one of only two in Ireland you can still climb. The 121 steep steps up the tower give the best rooftop view of the city you will get anywhere.
