Situated on the banks of the River Shannon, the historic market town of Athlone marks the geographical center of Ireland. Organized outings from Dublin usually focus on the 13th-century Athlone Castle and the nearby monastic ruins of Clonmacnoise and include a professional guide to explain the city's strategic importance during the Siege of Athlone. Tours often include time to explore the local artisan shops or visit the oldest pub in Ireland, and most itineraries also include a boat cruise on Lough Ree. Guided tours offer an efficient way to experience the Midlands, with a local driver to take you through the region’s top archaeological and river landmarks.
