Tralee is the biggest town in County Kerry, in southwestern Ireland. Located at the head of Tralee Bay, the town has a population of about 23,000 (2011 estimate).

As with most of the towns in Ireland, Tralee was not spared the violence of the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War. However, it has since moved on to a more peaceful era, and has worked to develop its tourism industry. Among the most successful efforts is the Rose of Tralee Festival, held each August to celebrate Irish culture, performing arts and heritage.

Visiting Tralee

The most practical way to reach Tralee is by private transport. There are buses to Tralee from Dublin, Limerick, Killarney and Cork provided by Bus Éireann, the national bus company.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
