The city of Kilkenny in the southeast of Ireland lies on the River Nore and has a population of just under 9,000. As the town is very popular with tourists, Enterprise Rent-A-Car provides a really useful service to everyone who comes to visit and see the surrounding area. You'll find the Enterprise branch on Dublin Road, just to the east of the city centre and not far from the Cillin Hill Business Park. Dublin Road leads to Kilkenny town centre as well as to major routes, including the M9 motorway. In Kilkenny itself, visit the many historic buildings, such as the castle, St. Canice's and St. Mary's Cathedrals, the town hall and St. Francis Abbey. Kilkenny has a vibrant cultural scene, with numerous craft workshops, museums and a theatre. Every year, there's the Kilkenny Arts Festival as well as other major events, such as the comedy and music festivals. The town benefits from a 'park and pay by phone' scheme, with as many as 110 long-stay, low-cost parking spaces in designated areas. You can spot these designated zones as they're enclosed by a red line and have 'Park by Phone' painted on the road.
