A (a)typical Irish town!

Kinsale is considered to be one of the most picturesque and interesting towns in Ireland. A place that is not exactly calm and relaxing, especially in summer, when it is literally overrun by tourists.

Between the renowned Main Street and Market Lane you can admire a real rainbow of colors. Whether they are private homes, or city premises. Walking through the splendid alleys, you will find visitors from everywhere, ready to take pictures and selfies of the ritual, among the colorful facades of the buildings.

Each corner is an invitation to photograph.
Each corner is an invitation to stop. Because in its small historic center, bars, restaurants and cafes swarm. You will only have an abundance of choice and, hardly, you will return home without having tasted something. Maybe some excellent fish and chips at Dinos, an authentic institution in these parts.
For many, it is considered the gastronomic capital of Ireland. Its Gourmet festival, active for more than 40 years, is known throughout the country!

But the beauty of this town goes far beyond the square, the colorful houses and its winding alleys. In fact, Kinsale has been able to keep its seafaring vocation alive. Next to the clubs and some suggestive monuments, you will not fail to relax walking along the port.
