Cork

Famous for Irish Cuisine, Shopping & Vibrant Nightlife

The second largest city on the Island, Cork, offers travelers on an Ireland vacation a taste of Irish culture and excitement. This city is famous for some of the most traditional Irish cuisine - brave travelers may try: crubeens, tripe and drisheen - but you may want to wait to ask your waiter what it is until you’ve finished your meal!

• Situated in the southwest corner of Ireland, Cork is one of the counties to see the most sunlight each year.
• As one of the most conveniently designed cities, Cork offers tourists the opportunity to take advantage of the many pedestrian streets to get around - St. Patrick’s Street is most famous for its line of of shops, each brightly painted in a different color.
• Visitors quench their thirst with Murphy’s Irish Red, Cork’s hometown Irish brew, found in every Irish pub in the area.
• The only city in Ireland to rival Dublin’s restaurant scene and vivacious nightlife, Cork offers stylish new clubs to offset traditional Irish pubs.
• Home to numerous festivals throughout the year, including the Cork Midsummer Festival, which has locals and tourists alike partying through the streets into the early morning hours.
• Those looking for Ireland’s most famous highlights will find the tallest building in Ireland - County Hall (a skyscraper surrounded almost entirely by fields), and the longest building in Ireland - Atkins Hall (built in the Victorian times, is now residential housing).
