If you re in Ireland you have to make a journey to the Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney Stone. I love visiting places with stories of good luck behind them. The trek up to the top took a while but was well worth the wait. I also suggest walking down the wishing steps close by.

This castle! The castle to rule all castles! There a magical stone that give you powers here... To be very honest 18 ( 14 if you can convince them you're a student) is a good price to pay for magical powers of you ask me.

Now you may ask...what magical powers are on offer at this century's old s...

What a place. It is a must while being in Cork. The castle grounds have a cave, poison garden, stables, cafe etc while the castle is pretty much intact from the old ages. It has so many rooms, the smallest and the most steepest stairs, amazing vibe and of course the gift of eloquence. I am super afr...

The Blarney Stone is situated at the top of the Blarney Castle, which I have already reviewed in detail. To recap, the Castle is situated in beautiful gardens, it was very crowded to get up to the actual Stone. It took us an hour of queuing to reach the Stone, up some extremely narrow and steep step...

Went mid-April, at 9am (opening time) and didn't wait or queue for a single thing. There was posts that said "wait time from here: 90mins" that we strolled past, straight to the top of the castle. Would recommend this time!
Beautiful grounds and Castle, well worth the entry fee.

I kissed the stone a week ago I don't notice a change. Ahaah! This is one of my favourite castles. Be warned because you need to have mobility to walk up the stairs because the runners are thin & it's dark in there. Don't do this if you get claustrophobic. Nice views from the top of the castle and g...

This is my favorite castle to visit in Ireland!!! The castle is well preserved with numerous arrow slits and murder holes to examine. The climb up can be a bit claustrophobic because ascending the tower stairs is narrow with a low ceiling and tiny spiral stairs. Get here early or you'll be stuck ins...

The castle was impressive. The thing with the stone is very funny. The hour of waiting to get up was less fun ... The castle is well developed for tourism and there are also many tourist buses. The garden is definitely beautiful in good weather.

The grounds are really nice, the castle is cool but it's so busy and pretty expensive. Had a two hour wait to do the stone and get into the castle, personally I don't think it's worth it. There are quieter castles in Ireland, that are in just as good condition and less of a tourist trap.

Interesting experience. Very over crowded however. Worth it if you don't mind heights. Leaning backwards over a 50 meter drop to kiss a stone for good luck to summarise. Didn't manage to kiss the stone as I'm too short. Probably doomed for eternity of bad luck. Views were nice too.

Very tight space to get to the top. View and the top is worth it. The guys at the top will assist anyone that wants to bend over backwards on the fourth story to kiss a stone. Seems safe enough. They will sell your picture to you at the entrance. Loved the gardens.
