Sneem
An tSnaidhm
A colorful village on the Ring of Kerry, with riverside houses painted in vivid colors. It is a popular stop for photos and a break on the way.
Sneem is divided into north and south halves by the Sneem River, and each bank has its own square. The houses are painted in bright shades of pink, yellow and blue, and a rushing stream flows beneath the bridge. The village has several modern sculptures, along with a statue commemorating the local wrestler Steady Mahony. There are cafés and ice cream shops, making it a good place to park and stroll for half an hour. Tour buses usually stop here, and it is especially lively at midday in summer.
