Cork is great. We love coming here with our friends and family when they visit Ireland. It always impresses.

5/5 - Excellent

Take the bus to Blarney Castle, it's easy (2,80E each way). If you're heading back late in the day there may be a bit of a wait for the bus (but there is a pub with wifi right by the bus stop). Blarney Woollen Mills is a worthwhile stop too.
