When Should You Go

Shannon enjoys a warm summer of around 15°C from June to September and a mild winter when temperatures tend to drop to 6°C. This makes Shannon a beautiful destination to explore at any time of year.

From spring to summer, this peaceful part of Southern Ireland comes alive with festivals and events taking place throughout the city. The Limerick Fringe Festival is usually held in April annually and features multi-genre performances. This vibrant non-profit event looks to support home-grown and international talent while entertaining locals and tourists alike. With international comedy acts often featured in the festival line-up, it is certainly not something to be missed.

Throughout the year, dolphin watching is a big tourist attraction, with guided boat trips exploring the coves and caves of the west coast, while looking out for grey seals, sea birds and dolphins. A trip out to the Atlantic Ocean can be a truly memorable experience.

Whether you prefer to relax in one of the many spa hotels, or you’d rather experience a more traditional Irish retreat, choose from boutique hotels, rustic country pubs and riverside B&Bs.
