Soccer, rugby or GAA, you\u2019ll find it all here. However, one destination that should be high up on your list of priorities is Thomond Park. Home to the world-famous Munster rugby club, if you&#8217;re lucky enough to match-up your travel dates with a game, you\u2019ll witness first-hand why Munster fans are so widely celebrated for the passionate support they offer their team.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling during the off-season? No problem! Thomond Park\u2019s impressive museum will give you a fascinating insight into what Munster rugby is all about. Containing all manner of memorabilia, the additional option of taking a stadium tour will take you even closer to the action. Providing you with a first-hand experience of Thomond Park, usually reserved for the players alone, you can feel like a professional rugby star for a few hours. From taking your seat in the home dressing-room to walking down the tunnel, the site upon which Munster famously beat the All Blacks in 1978 is a place of great significance in Irish sporting history.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component text-block rich-text  padM padBottom\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Adare-Manor-and-garden.jpg\" alt=\"Adare Manor and garden\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Adare-Manor-and-garden.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Adare-Manor-and-garden-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Adare-Manor-and-garden-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Adare-Manor-and-garden-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Adare Manor<\/h4>\n<p>One of Ireland\u2019s most renowned hotels, the five-star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adaremanor.com\/\">Adare Manor<\/a> is certainly worth visiting.
