Morning

Enjoy a slow start with breakfast at the River Court Hotel. Spend the late morning at leisure - a short walk through the castle grounds or browsing nearby shops.

Afternoon

Keep the afternoon relaxed. Have a light lunch at the hotel or a nearby café. If interested, visit the Smithwick’s Experience (6–8 minutes walk) for an early afternoon tour and tasting.

Return to the hotel mid-afternoon to rest and prepare for the evening.

Evening

Start your night with dinner at the River Court Hotel or a nearby restaurant within a 5-minute walk.

After dinner, head to Parliament Street and High Street (5 minutes) - the centre of Kilkenny’s nightlife. Move between traditional pubs, cocktail bars and live music venues, all within a compact area.

Late Night

Finish the evening with a short walk back to the River Court Hotel - no taxis required.
