Killarney is a town in County Kerry, southwestern Ireland. The town is in a deep valley in the MacGillicuddy Reeks, beside the Lakes of Killarney and part of the Killarney National Park. It is home to St. Mary's Cathedral, Ross Castle, Muckross Abbey, torc waterfall and Innisfallen Island, the location of a ruined monastery. It is a sister city of Concord, North Carolina.
Thanks to its history, natural interest and proximity to the Dingle Peninsula, Skellig Michael island and the Ring of Kerry, Killarney is a popular tourist destination.
Tourism is by far the largest industry in Killarney. With the exception of Ireland's capital city, Dublin, there are more hotel beds available in Killarney than in any other Irish town or city.
