Things to do in Cork

Cork may be Ireland's second city but, in many respects, it takes first place (at least according to the locals). Liberal, youthful, cosmopolitan: these are just some of the adjectives that you could use to describe Ireland's real capital, but it also manages to maintain its traditional roots with cosy pubs with live music and restaurants dishing up classic, locally-sourced meal. So, take in the sights and sounds of the city on foot or by bike and you won't be disappointed with what you find, from cathedrals and churches to markets to art galleries and even an opera house. You'll never be short on things to do!
