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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
