    When you move to a foreign country, it is always interesting to know what are the monuments, places that represents its historical heritage. Ireland tourist places are not lacking. Near Limerick we select five.

     

    If like me you're a passionate of aviation, the Foynes Flying Boat Museum will open its doors for you. This museum traces the history of seaplane time where Foynes was the metropolis of aviation. You can also visit the cockpit of an old seaplane.
