Proudly nestled on an island in the middle of the River Lee, Cork is truly a city built on water. Its city center rests on an island surrounded by the two channels of the River Lee, connected by numerous bridges that give the city a distinct continental charm. The heart of Cork is made up of narrow 17th-century lanes and modern architectural masterpieces such as the Opera House.
A must-see in Cork is its covered market, one of the oldest in Europe. Open since 1788, it highlights local products — farmhouse cheeses, cured meats, buttered eggs, sausages, freshly baked bread, and smoked salmon. You’ll also find some imported delicacies such as olives and fine wines.
Perched on a hill overlooking the city center to the north, Shandon is the perfect spot to enjoy a breathtaking view of Cork and its surroundings. The area is also home to art galleries, antique shops, and cafés along the old streets and squares. The tiny terraced houses and winding alleys offer walks full of timeless charm.
The Protestant Cathedral of Cork is another must-visit landmark. Its sharp spires, grotesque gargoyles, and intricate stone carvings create an impressive façade. The splendor continues inside, with marble mosaics covering the floor, a colorful ceiling, a grand pulpit, and the bishop’s throne.

Just outside the city, the colorful port of Cobh, located in one of the world’s most beautiful natural harbors, makes for a breathtaking escape. It was from here that the Titanic set sail on its final voyage, an event commemorated at the Titanic Experience Cobh.
A bit further away lies Blarney Castle, a medieval fortress complete with towers, gardens, caves, and the legendary Blarney Stone — offering a unique glimpse into another chapter of Irish history.
