Voice of Travelers to Cork
What a beautul city Cork is. Lovely scenery
Cork is a beautiful and friendly city. Not too small and not too big. If you are located anywhere near the city center of Cork everything in town is within a 15-20 minutes walk. This improved my quality of life a thousandfold considering I was living in Milan before Cork and it took me 50 minutes to get to work (and some say I was lucky).
The nights out are lively and always friendly and you'll rarely find trouble around unless you go looking for it in Cork - in 7 years or living in Cork I can point at 2-3 episodes of commotion, no different than any other place in the world. Cork truly is a multicultural and stimulating environment with people from all over Europe being attracted by the various companies located all around the city. The city feels very safe.
As a tourist to Cork you'll have a great time, but if you spend more time or live in Cork you will truly appreciate its character and start discovering great spots in alleys and away from the main streets of Cork.
I lived on the north side of Cork for the first couple of years and it was alright (a bit rougher around the edges, but nothing too crazy in Cork) and then moved south of the river Lee into the city center of Cork after then and it was even better because of the central Cork location.
In my time spent in Cork, I went around the country quite a bit and I have to say that if county Kerry is my favourite in terms of scenery and nature, Cork is my favourite city (Galway is an easy second). West Cork is very beautiful too with all sorts of breath taking natural scenery. I miss driving down to Kinsale on a weekend.
In conclusion, I only have fond memories of Cork, and would highly recommend visiting Cork or, why not, even moving to Cork
Cork is perfect for the budget traveller
If you are on a budget and have particular destinations out of town then the busses are good. Kinsale, Clonakilty, Middleton (this last one now served by trains as well) are all worth a trip or a stayover. You can get information on the main buss lines here Bus Eireann.
Otherwise rent a car and drive the back lanes. Renting is usually quite reasonably priced. The coast road via Kinsale, Ballinspiddle, Timoleague, Courtmacsherry and Clonakilty is simply fantastic.
Amazingly beautiful castles to view in Cork
Having seen loads of castles in our time in Cork we thought we better do this one. Yes it was Cork castle and yes it's old and yes you have to kiss the stone...except me as I suffer vertigo during my Cork visits, hubby did. Staircase is narrow but no issues walking and waiting up it. Grounds in Cork Castle are beautiful. Done it now wouldn't go again. If it's on your bucket list definitely go to Cork. Enjoyed our time in Cork. Pity Irish luck wasn't on our side weather wise in Cork. Ireland certainly is a beautiful country so picturesque, but Cork was the highlight.
