点评:I was in Dublin for work and made the day trip to Kilkenny Castle. I took the train 1.5 hours from Dublin Heuston train station (St John’s Road West, Dublin 8, Ireland) to Kilkenny train station. The Dublin Heusten station is located near the Guinness Storehouse- a longer walk from Grafton Street hotels.
Kilkenny Castle was pretty inside and out. They have 52 acres of land behind the castle. Inside they have large paintings & murals (looks like rugs hanging), fancy chairs, tables, & more.
My tour guide, Joe Walsh, did a nice job explaining the history of the castle. Only recommended I would give him is to ask if anyone has any questions or would like a photo before we leave a room.
I would go back in the summertime to check out the water fountain and flowers. I recommend to visit this on your visit to Dublin. I just didn’t give it 5 stars because 5 stars to me means I “have” to go back because it was that amazing of an experience. I haven’t found anything to be truly “amazing” in Dublin, but I’ve had a fun trip. I’ll only come back after I explore other parts of the world or if my company takes me back here.
翻译:我因工作前往都柏林,并安排了一天的行程去基尔肯尼城堡。我从都柏林休斯顿火车站(地址:St John’s Road West, Dublin 8, Ireland)乘火车一个半小时到达基尔肯尼火车站。都柏林休斯顿火车站靠近吉尼斯啤酒展览馆,但从格拉夫顿街的酒店步行过去需要更长时间。
基尔肯尼城堡内外都非常漂亮。城堡后方有52英亩的土地。城堡内部装饰着大型油画和壁画(看起来像挂着的地毯),还有精致的椅子、桌子等等。
我的导游乔·沃尔什(Joe Walsh)讲解城堡的历史非常精彩。我唯一想给他的建议是,在离开房间之前,最好询问一下是否有人有任何问题或想要拍照。
我打算夏天再去一次,看看喷泉和鲜花。我推荐大家在都柏林旅行时一定要去参观基尔肯尼城堡。我没给五星是因为对我来说,五星意味着我“必须”再去一次,因为体验实在太棒了。我在都柏林还没找到什么真正“惊艳”的地方,不过这次旅行还是挺愉快的。除非我探索过世界其他地方,或者公司带我再来,否则我不会再来了。
