Athlone is a large and bustling town located in the heart of Ireland. It’s a town steeped in culture and history. It is situated on the banks of the River Shannon, Ireland’s longest river, and spans not only two counties – Westmeath and Roscommon – but also two provinces – Leinster and Connaught.

Athlone has developed as a major tourism point in Ireland. Its central location in the country means that it’s only 90 minutes from Dublin Airport and within two hours of major cities such as Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Kilkenny.
