CORK CITY

Cork is the biggest county in Ireland and is part of both the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland’s Ancient East. With over 1000km of coastline there's a mesmerising amount of experiences to be had. Read our tips to get the most from your visit to our Maritime Haven.

Cork City the best place in the world? Cork folk certainly think so. This breezy, cosmopolitan spot in Ireland’s southwest inspires a devotion in its locals that few other places can rival.

And it’s easy to see why. Sitting proudly on an island in the middle of the River Lee, Cork’s feelgood buzz surges through its hip coffee shops, vibrant art galleries, off-beat museums and seriously good pubs. Despite being a city, there’s a decidedly towny feel here – life is laidback, nothing is too much hassle.

Pleasantly compact, friendly and with a wry sense of humor, Cork does things its own way, which makes a break here feel totally unique. Enjoy a gig in a beautiful converted church, explore an eerie 19th century jail and go on a whirlwind tour of traditional tastes at the food mecca of the English Market.

It has often been said that perhaps Munster's biggest attraction of all is the people themselves who are warm, witty and welcoming! 

So you are sure to enjoy your stay.
