The top things to do in Killarney

Recommendations from travellers like you.

The achingly-picturesque town of Killarney is about to be overrun with travel bloggers for #TBEXIreland and while the event’s programme is extensive, it’s worth leaving time free for exploring.

We’ve had our data scientists comb through internal data to find out what travellers like you love about Killarney. Here are their recommendations. *

Sightseeing

The natural beauty surrounding Killarney is impressive. And the nearby Killarney National Park has over 25,000 acres of woodland, lakes, mountains and red deer herds. For those who prefer to keep a pane of glass between themselves and the great outdoors, there are plenty of historical buildings and sites like Muckross Abbey, St Mary’s Well and the Ogham Stones. The latter will be of particular interest to the travel writers in attendance as they are the earliest recorded written words in Ireland.

Lakes

The Lakes of Killarney are located in the National Park and include Muckross Lake, Upper Lake and Lough Leane (aka the ‘Lake of Learning’). Lough Leane is overlooked by Ross Castle, and Innisfallen Island sits at the centre of the lake, which takes it’s name from the archeological remains of the Innisfallen Abbey. The island’s original residents were a group of monks who wrote the earliest history of Ireland and visitors can hire a boat to transport them from Ross Castle to this important Irish historical site.

If you do end up falling in love with the town and want to extend your stay, Killarney Lodge is 2-minutes’ walk from the Killarney town centre and Sika Lodge is just 10-minutes’ walk from Lough Leane.

* The data scientists at Booking.com used internal data to uncover the top recommended activities in Killarney, according to the town’s recent visitors.

Unpacked is the Booking.com travel content platform. We use internal data to write about everything from holidays for tech obsessed families to where to find the world’s best whiskey.

What to Expect From Your First TBEX

If you're looking at my title and thinking, "Chris, I'm fairly sure 'TBEX' is not a word," then you're right and you're wrong. No, it isn't a "word" per se, but it is a hashtag and abbreviation, so one could argue that in this modern age of blurred lines that it may indeed be a word after all. In truth, TBEX stands for the "Travel Blog Exchange," and I noted that in my previous post from my hostel in Tel Aviv. Just to keep it brief, I'll just copy the wording TBEX uses to describe itself via its website - "TBEX is the world's largest gathering of travel bloggers, writers, new media content creators, and social media savvy travel industry professionals. Every year, TBEX partners with fantastic destinations in North America and Europe to bring the travel industry's most creative minds together to learn, network and do business."

So, what did we learn from that? Well, we learned that I'm one of the "industry's most creative minds," naturally. Joking aside, this post is for those who are wondering what TBEX is all about, and if you can fit into the fold. Or, conversely, for those who are simply curious what happens when a plethora of relatively energetic and charismatic travel professionals spend extended periods of time together.

When I was looking into booking, I had a hard time discerning what the actual day to day experience might be like, so I thought I'd put together a quick post on my experiences at TBEX International 2017 in Jerusalem, also known as #tbexjlm. This isn't the 4700 word post that's going to give you what every minute of what TBEX will contain along with a headache from staring at a screen. Rather, it's meant to give you the aura and feeling of my experience, as well as those I met. Read Full Article HERE
