Holidays in Cork
Don't spend those valuable holidays binge-watching Friends episodes and trying to figure out if you're more like Chandler or Ross. Venture out into the real world and discover what Cork is all about!
Of course, it's not just the buildings and attractions that make a city special — there's also the people who call it home. In this part of Cork, there's 190,000 of them.
The nation's capital, Dublin, lies 220 kilometres northeast of Cork, while Blarney can be found 8 kilometres to the northwest.
There's tons of family fun to be had here. From Donkey Sanctuary to Leisureplex, the little ones won't be disappointed!
Assemble your group and make your way to the Murphy's Brewery for a round or two. Their range is impressive, so make sure you free up the whole afternoon!
If you'd like to explore a greener side of Cork, organise a trip to one of its grassy parklands. Swing by Fitzgerald Park, Cork Heritage Park or the Fota House Arboretum and Gardens.
Beamish and Crawford Brewery and the Butter Museum both have a range of eye-opening displays. Ask the staff about guided tours or wander the peaceful halls in your own time. The Military Museum Collins Barracks and the National Radio Museum are also worthwhile institutions.
In a destination that is filled with highly regarded art collections, the Crawford Art Gallery and the Lavit Gallery manage to stand out from the bunch. The Glucksman Gallery and Tigh Fili Cultural Centre should also be on your radar.
If you want to understand the present, step back into the past! To learn about the events and people that have helped make this city what it is today, make your way to the Cork Public Museum.
To really get a sense of the history of Cork, take time to discover Cork City Hall and the University College Cork. If you're interested in knowing more, the Ballincollig Gunpowder Mills and Kinneigh Round Tower should be next on the list.
St. Patrick's Bridge and Donovan's Bridge are ageless crossings that will appeal to any travellers that have an interest in historic structures. Daly's Bridge offers a way to take in Cork's waterways from another perspective.
Go for a walk along the border walls and discover the powerful history of Elizabeth Fort, a structure that was instrumental in defending the region.
If you've ever dreamt of living like royalty, an excursion to Barryscourt Castle should be number one on your to-do list. Just as mesmerising, Blackrock Castle looks like it's sprung straight out of a fantasy book.
Whether you're religious or not, houses of worship like Bells of Shandon and Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral are sure to be among the most tranquil sights you'll experience in your travels. Want to take a deeper look into Cork's cultural identity? Continue on to St. Anne's Shandon Church and Holy Trinity Church.
If you're looking to pick up the basics, and maybe a few mementoes while you're there, swing by Ballincollig Shopping Centre or Mahon Point Shopping Centre. For even more retail therapy, English Market also boasts a varied selection of options.
If you're looking for a delightful evening's entertainment, head over to Cork Opera House or the Everyman Palace Theatre. If you're wanting another night on the town, the Savoy Theatre and the Granary Theatre are a couple more venues worth looking into.
Before you go, you shouldn't forget about the less famous attractions here, like the Triskel Arts Centre, Trinity Bridge and Nano Nagle Bridge.
