354613 4 Location 478482 <p>Bunratty Castle is very easy to get to as it is close to the airport and if you are ever in Shannon it is something worth seeing. The interior has been furnished with tapestries and artifacts from different eras. If you let your imagination run wild it is easy to go back in history while walking through the "great hall", the dungeons and up the spiral stairways which lead to the towers. Being up on the towers one can catch a breath taking view of never ending green meadows. Entrance tickets cost €13.00 unless you purchase tickets ahead of time by e mail for €8.00</p><p>In Irish Bunratty means the bend of the river. That would be The River Shannon, which is the longest river in Ireland.</p><p>Right next to the castle is a folk park which features reconstructions of historical cottages and buildings. Actors dressed up in 19Th century costumes help recreate the feel of the 19Th century period in Ireland. </p><p>Every evening Bunratty Castle comes to live with a Medieval Banquet. There are two sittings and the prices range from €43.25 to €51.95.</p><p>Its a great and fun experience. A dinner that definitely makes you&nbsp;feel like royalty.<br /></p> 2007-01-18T15:50:20-08:00 585105434 2004-03-15T16:00:00-08:00 0 -9223372036854775790 134199 3413181 354613 0 0.084681898399739 2004-03-12T16:00:00-08:00 Published 100.0 2007-01-18T15:51:03-08:00 86410 0
