Exploring Kilkenny City is easy with JJ Kavanagh’s 717 and 736 services. The 717-Clonmel-Kilkenny-Dublin route is recommended if you’re travelling from Dublin, with two Kilkenny city stops at Ormonde Rd and Glendine Inn. The 736-Waterford-Carlow-Dublin also passes through Kilkenny City, stopping only at Ormonde Rd. To explore Kilkenny City, we recommend hopping off at our Ormonde Road stop, which is a 7-minute walk from Kilkenny Castle and 6 minutes from St Mary’s Medieval Mile Museum!
If you’re leaving Kilkenny City for other destinations, Ormonde Road bus stop is ideal. If you’re heading to Dublin City and Dublin Airport, we recommend our 717 service, which will get you there a little faster. Alternatively, those heading to Carlow or Waterford should take our 736 route.
