Cork: more than 800 years old, a university town and former European City of Culture
‘Cork is at the top of its game right now: sophisticated, vibrant and diverse, while still retaining its friendliness, relaxed charm and quick-fire wit.
“We were all astounded by the quality of the food we ate in restaurants, particularly in Kinsale, which I think has some of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at.”
Pierre Josse, Le Guide du Routard, 2012 edition
“Cork’s dynamicism is reflected in contemporary buildings, bars and arts centres. The best of the city is still happily traditional, though – snug pubs with live-music sessions most of the week, excellent local produce and a genuinely proud welcome from the locals.”
