Listowel is on the [[N69 road (Ireland)|N69]] [[Limerick]] – [[Foynes]] – Tralee [[Roads in Ireland|road]]. [[Bus Éireann]] provides daily services to Tralee, [[Cork (city)|Cork]], and Limerick. The nearest [[railway station]] is Tralee. Listowel used to have its own railway station on a [[broad gauge]] line between Tralee and Limerick city; however, this was closed to passengers in 1963, to freight in 1978, and finally abandoned and lifted in 1988. The station building has been preserved as a private residence.
