St. Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower

St. Canice's Cathedral: Climb the Round Tower for City Views

4.9 (877)

Don't skip the steep climb up the 9th-century Round Tower; it is the only way to see Kilkenny from above. The narrow, rickety stairs aren't for the faint of heart, but the view hits different once you reach the top. Spend about an hour here walking the graveyard and the cathedral nave. Pair it with the Medieval Mile walking tour if you want the actual history without the dry textbook vibe. Get there early to avoid the crowds.
