Cork
The second-largest city in Ireland, Cork’s downtown area has the unique location of being on an island in the middle of the Lee River.
The last few decades have seen substantial growth, but Irish culture still holds strong with many pubs offering excellent brew and live music. The diverse culture remains as welcoming as ever, making it easy to see why citizens often call this city “The real capital of Ireland.”
Dublin
The bustling capital of Ireland, Dublin is a riotous, welcoming place—a truly international scene, all infused with Irish culture. Down a famous Guinness on Temple Bar, wander around St. Stephen’s Green, soak up history with the ancient Book of Kells at Trinity College, or get some great shopping done on O’Connell St. Dublin offers it all, topping it off with lively Irish music.
