Free to enter, Killarney National Park is open to pedestrians 24 hours per day, year-round. The historic homes and museums, Muckross House and Killarney House, are open every day, year-round.

The vibrant town is known for its bustling atmosphere and its location right beside the 26,000-acre UNESCO Killarney National Park. Autumn is the perfect time to experience some of its hidden gems!

Pat estimates Killarney National Park is probably the busiest in Ireland with over 2.5 million visitors a year – and this, of course, puts pressure on the landscape.
