Its reign as European Capital of Culture 2005 may have come to a close, but Cork is still without a doubt one of the hottest city break destinations in Ireland within the Cork/Kerry region. 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 flavor and seriously good summertime festivals.
