Hotels in Cork, Ireland
Lively, party going, fun-loving Cork though full of history has very much a youthful outlook. Split into three districts by the River Lee, Cork is easily navigated by North South and City areas.
Places to see while in Cork should include the Gothic Cathedral of St Finbarr's with its gargoyle-laden walls. When sightseeing on the south side of the city, St Finbarr's will remind you where you are as it dominates the landscape so you shouldn't get lost too often.
Cork is riddled with cultural places to visit (as well as its many bars and clubs!) such as the Cork Opera House and the Triskel Arts Centre and many more galleries and fascinating places of interest. Experience nineteenth century prison life at the Cork City Gaol. With sound effects, models and a strong stomach, you are able to re-enact the sorry existence of an imprisoned criminal. For something a bit more cheery, head for St Ann's Church in Shandon. Here you can ring the bells to your hearts content!
Cork is a great base for travelling around southern Ireland. Blarney Castle is a short bus ride away where you can kiss the Blarney Stone and get the gift of the gab (if you haven’t got it already).
