Cork, however you want it.

Welcome to Cork, the “People’s Republic of Cork” - a vibrant and independent city located in the southernmost part of Ireland. As an ancient maritime port, Cork has been influenced by the wider world for centuries, making it a cosmopolitan and creative hub. The city is an island between two arms of the River Lee, giving it a unique charm that will make you feel like you're walking on water. Cork is a European Capital of Culture and boasts an abundance of galleries, museums, and local cultural centers that sustain the creative vibe associated with the city. The artisan food scene is one of the biggest culinary hot spots in Ireland, with fresh fish flooding into the city from nearby towns and artisan producers furnishing restaurants and market stalls with sumptuous dairy products and meats from the surrounding pastureland. And to wash it all down, you'll find pubs at every nook and cranny - this is a city that easily lends itself to merrymaking. Despite all the action, Cork remains a small and intimate city with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
