Central Ireland, and the County Kilkenny, is where you will find Kilkenny Castle. To get to the castle in Leinster Province, driving is your best bet.
It's just 90 minutes by car from Dublin Airport. Head south from the airport onto the M9, and stay on that road until you see signs for Exit 8.
Head to the center of Kilkenny via Castle Road, and the thoroughfare called The Parade will lead you to the castle itself.
