Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Cork
Cork has a more compact energy than Dublin, with its gently sloping streets, bridges, markets and neighborhoods that are organized around the Lee. The city lends itself well to a discovery on foot, between gourmet addresses, colorful facades and a slightly independent student atmosphere.
Cathedral
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral brings to Cork a very worked neo-Gothic silhouette, with arrows, sculptures and details that attract the eye even before the entrance. Inside, stained glass, mosaics and volumes give a more contemplative visit, useful to slow down between two lively districts of the center.
Port city
Cobh
Cobh upstairs above its port, with colorful houses, a dominant cathedral and a constant relationship to transatlantic departures. The sloping streets offer beautiful views of the harbour; the visit particularly affects travellers who are sensitive to the stories of emigration, navigation and cities facing the sea.
