Its reign as European Capital of Culture 2005 may have come to a close, but Cork, County Cork, is still without a doubt one of the hottest city break destinations in Ireland within the South of Ireland.
Delve into this perfectly sized urban hub, and you’ll be rewarded with an astonishing array of excellent restaurants, chic bars and lively pubs, a strong local flavour and seriously good summertime festivals.
Right now, Cork is cool and confident; the city is feeling good about itself and it shows; the streets are looking smart, the shops are looking smooth and the ‘craic’ has never been better.

The name Cork comes from the Irish Corcach Mór Mumhan, which means “the great marsh of Munster” and refers to the fact that the centre of Cork is built on islands that used to be prone to flooding.
