When to visit

The best time to visit Kerry is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is mild and the days are long. However, spring and autumn are also great times to visit as the landscapes are lush and green. Winter can be cold and rainy, but it is less crowded with tourists. It is important to pack layers and waterproof clothing no matter what time of year you visit.

Getting around

The best way to get around Kerry is by car, as it allows you to explore the region at your own pace. There are also public buses that connect major towns and villages, but they may not be as frequent in more remote areas. Taxis are available in larger towns like Killarney and Tralee. Cycling is a popular way to explore the countryside, with bike rentals available in tourist areas.
