Killarney is located in County Kerry which is in the southwest part of Ireland. When the date gets closer, I will ensure to have all covid-related travel information here. 

Killarney is a four hour drive from Dublin. 

There is a train from Heuston Station in Dublin that brings you into Killarney right beside The Great Southern. You would need to get a bus from Dublin airport to Heuston Station. 
Airlink Express
Irish Rail

There are also bus routes from Dublin Airport to Killarney
 Bus Eireann
Dublin Coach

Killarney is approximately 2 hours from Shannon Airport. There is not currently a direct flight from Chicago to Shannon. 

Buses from Shannon to Killarney are limited. The information can be found here 
Bus Eireann

There is also a small airport in Kerry that is about 20 minutes from Killarney. 

This would be a short connecting flight from Dublin.
Kerry Airport

Rental cars are available from both Dublin and Shannon airports and are one of the best ways to see Ireland.

If planning to rent a car, we would recommend checking to see if your credit card covers rental insurance in Ireland. Often times online rental prices do not reflect the cost of insurance.

If driving on the left side of the road is not for you, there are bus routes that can get you to and from different towns and sights within Kerry and throughout Ireland

Paddy Wagon Tours
