Cork City
Voted as one of the top ten cities in the world to visit in 2010 by Lonely Planet, you can be assured that there’s plenty to see and do in Cork. “With a population of the Cork Metropolitan Area of four hundred thousand people and a huge investment into infrastructure Cork now has one million square feet of retail space in an easily accessible city centre. Cork also has some of the best restaurants in Ireland or England so this vote is not really a surprise to the people of Cork,” say Lonely Planet. “Sophisticated, vibrant and diverse while still retaining its friendliness, relaxed charm and quickfire wit, Cork buzzes with the energy of a city that’s certain of its place in Ireland.”
Some of the highlights are the English Market, The Shandon Bells, The Franciscan Well Brewery, St Finbarr’s Cathedral and University College Cork.
