Leading online travel publication Lonely Planet have listed Kilkenny amongst the top ten 'unmissable places to visit in Ireland'.
The city was also bestowed the title of 'best city for history' in a recently published article on the travel website.
The article describes Kilkenny City as 'Ireland’s prettiest city center' and refers to the Medieval Mile as 'a living museum' .
"A ramble around The Marble City’s beating heart is the best way to discover its past," the writer notes.
"A self-guided walking tour of the Medieval Mile takes in sites like the Black Abbey, Saint Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower and the Butter Slip – an atmospheric laneway that exudes old-world charm."
Also referenced in the piece is Kilkenny's fascinating history and association with witchcraft and the city's brewing pedigree.
Some of the other destinations making the list include the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal, County Clare, West Cork, Galway City and the Causeway Coast in County Antrim.
