   At 14:00, your driver will drop you off at St. Canice’s Cathedral, one of the oldest and most beautiful structures in the city. From here, your guide will take you on a 30-minute optional walking tour (included at no extra charge!) through Kilkenny’s medieval streets, where you’ll pass and enjoy commentary about: St. Canice's Cathedral, the Medieval Mile, Kilkenny Castle, Smithwick's brewery and more! Kilkenny, often called the "Marble City," is a medieval city known for its rich history and stunning architecture. The city was founded by the Normans after their invasion of Ireland in the 1100s, and it flourished under their rule. Kilkenny became a center of Norman power and culture, with the construction of significant landmarks such as Kilkenny Castle, which stands as a reminder of the city’s role as a stronghold of the Hiberno-Norman lords. Today, Kilkenny is a vibrant mix of medieval heritage and modern life, with charming streets, pubs, and historical sites to explore.
