Port of Cork

Cork in detail

Be it a bridge, a university college or a natural harbour (one of the world’s largest!), Cork provides a unique visitor experience no matter what you like to take from your holiday. This city, based in the South-West region of Ireland, is the third most populous in the country and is well equipped with all the cultural and historical assets you could wish for.

In terms of activities, Cork is a great base from which to discover much about Ireland’s colourful history. There are plenty of heritage sites and castles to be explored, and you can’t visit the region without kissing the famous Blarney Stone!

Visitors can also take in Ireland’s luscious green landscapes through visiting various wildlife parks and nature reserves, but if the weather doesn’t seem to be on your side, Cork has plenty of shops, cafés and markets too.
