Tralee has such a chill vibe, but honestly bring a raincoat. Weather can flip in a heart beat. Loved the seafood by the harbor though!
If you want to check out the Kerry County Museum, go right when it opens to avoid crowds and enjoy a quiet look around.
Stayed 3 nights and felt it was just right. Enough time to explore and relax without rushing. The locals are super friendly.
The bus service here is a gem. Get a day pass if you want to explore nearby towns, it saves a lot on single fares.
For cheaper eats, avoid the restaurants near the lagoon. Walk 5 minutes inland for authentic pubs with better prices and tastier food.
