Killarney has been named as the second-best rated destination in Ireland on TripAdvisor’s annual Travellers’ Choice Awards for destinations.

Dublin was named the top destination in the country - but Killarney was still listed ahead of Galway, who came in third place.

Other local destinations in TripAdvisor’s top 10 include Dingle in fourth and Sneem in 10th.

In the world rankings, London jumped from second place in 2018 to win the world’s number one destination on the list.

The awards recognise the locations that are the most popular among reviewers based on millions of reviews and opinions.

In the same poll, the Killarney Park Hotel finished ninth in the list of top Irish hotels, while Tralee’s Ballygarry House Hotel was named as the second best hotel in the country.
