Bridge over the river Eske. Across the bridge are several inexpensive B&B’s and the Donegal Hostel Hotel. There is also a very inexpensive hostel a couple of miles away at Lough Eske.
As with all of the republic, the signs are bilingual English and Gaelic

The city’s most famous landmark is the Franciscan Friary. The abandoned friary is now a graveyard among the ruins

Donegal is the northernmost county in the Republic and is renown for its secluded beauty. The county tends to get fewer tourists as a rule than the southern part of the country. The county is adjacent to Northern Ireland and the two make for a great combination.
