Athlone & Kilbeggan Distillery Experience
Enjoy free time in Athlone, a riverside town where Vikings plundered and almost every building has a story to tell. Afterwards, it’s onwards to the Kilbeggan Distillery Experience. Here you will be guided through an impressive history from 1757 to the present day and learn about the distillation process. You’ll also receive your own wee dram glass for tasting whiskeys from the range in the cooperage.
Galway
A free day in Galway where you’ll find a bustling waterfront, Lynch’s Castle, eighteenth century Eyre Square and a Latin Quarter with twisting lanes and quirky cafes. The city’s impressive cathedral is set on Nuns’ Island, accessed by a bridge and featuring rose windows and Christian art.
