2 Best Sights in The Southwest, Ireland

Kerry County Museum

Tralee's major cultural attraction traces the history of Kerry's people since 5000 BC, using dioramas and an entertaining audiovisual show. There is an excellent display on Tom Crean and Roger Casement, the celebrated humanitarian activist whose brief sojourn in Kerry during Ireland's Easter Rising had a huge impact locally and internationally. You can also walk through a life-size reconstruction of a Tralee street of the Middle Ages.

Tralee Bay Wetlands Center

Get to know the birdlife of the area before venturing on to Kerry's many beaches by visiting this small but effective center, just a short drive from town. The trail offers bird hides, and the nature zone will help you identify the many wading birds of the area, while the viewing tower reveals the vast expanse of Tralee Bay and the Slieve Mish mountains. The activity zone and lake offer boating (from €10) and an outdoor climbing wall (€15). The center is also a good spot for lunch.
