Cork is the ever-bustling city full of cultural heritage, cheerful people and authentic architecture, making it a must-see while in Ireland.

The authentic city offers some truly picturesque fun pursuits, such as strolling along St. Patrick's Street or visiting the English Market nearby. The latter one features a fountain indoors and is actually one of the oldest municipal markets, thus make sure to step inside to explore the fun environment or buy some delicious local produce.

Other points of interest on Cork sightseeing include the St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, featuring sky-crossing spires, as well as authentic interior, and the Blackrock Castle dating back to the 16th century. 

The Cork City Gaol, a significant building in the history of the city, is another important point of interest during Cork travel.
