Visit the castle and kiss the Blarney Stone....supposedly grants all of those who kiss it the gift of gab! From Dublin, you'll need to drive 3 hours. You can also take a train or a bus to Cork, and from Cork City Centre take the bus 215 to Blarney.
If you are planning to extend your stay in Ireland we strongly suggest visiting Cork City Centre. It is by far our favorite location in Ireland! Also, stop by our secret spot- Arthur Maynes- located at 7 Pembroke Street and head to The Upstairs, a discreet cocktail bar. Be sure to order the Cats Pajamas!!
