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

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.
