Cork City On Your Own

OVERVIEW

Depart from the pier and travel to the city of Cork. Cork is a compact, vibrant Irish city, filled with history, culture and creativity, famous for its people, sports and festivals. Today the Lee flows through the city on two main channels, so that you find yourself constantly crossing bridges. In fact, it is this feature of the city that gives it its distinctively continental air. As well as offering the many amenities of a large city, it still manages to retain the pleasant charm and friendliness of a country town. During your free time you might like to explore The English Market, the Old Courthouse, City Hall and the renowned Bells of Shandon or St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral whose spires dominate the city skyline. Take some time to enjoy this city independently with the comfort of knowing that there will be a luxury coach awaiting you for your return journey to port.
