What to do in Killarney when it rains
Rainy days suit Killarney: trade the streets for its galleries and museums, a sheltered market, and a café where you can watch the weather go by.
Museums
Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.
