Kilkenny is one of the most colourful cities of Ireland. And in Ireland, cities are very colourful. Usually you will find a pallet of yellow, blue, red, green, pink and purple on the shops and houses.
Kilkenny's rich medieval heritage is evident in the city's treasure trove of historical buildings and landmarks, exemplified by the magnificent Kilkenny Castle. Kilkenny is arguably the pre-eminent medieval city in Ireland, with the current layout of the city clearly grounded in the city's medieval roots.

But Kilkenny is very colourful. A pub like this really invites to come and have a pint of Guinness (or Smithwicks, for those who prefer the locally brewed stuff). You can visit the brewery, although you mainly see a video according to the guidebooks. The brewery is not hard to find. Just follow your nose, as it is to be smelled throughout the (colourful) city.
