C O R K

The city of Cork lies on the banks of the river Lee and thoughjt Cork may not be as lively a place as Dublin, it has its own unique charm. Many of the old churches and other buildings are fine examples of medieval architecture; the city’s quays and piers are picturesque, and the city’s pubs get surprisingly busy as the evening progresses.

There’s a lot to see and do in and around Cork. The city’s seductions include museums, bustling streets, the harbour that’s considered one of the best in all of Europe, and the butter market, which has been around since the 17th century. And to top it all, the city has lots of entertainment to offer- theatre, cinema, cultural performances and more. Hardly surprising then that Cork is increasingly becoming a popular place with tourists visiting Ireland.
