Day 1: Explore the Heart of Cork City

Morning: A Stroll Through History

Start your journey in the heart of Cork City. Begin with a visit to the English Market, an iconic food market dating back to 1788. Sample some local delights like Clonakilty black pudding and artisan cheeses. Don't forget to chat with the friendly vendors – they always have a story or two!

Afternoon: Culture and Coffee

After your market adventure, take a leisurely walk to St. Fin Barre's Cathedral. This stunning Gothic Revival cathedral is a must-see. Once you've soaked in the history, head to one of Cork’s hidden cafes for a cozy cuppa. We recommend popping into a café tucked away on a side street – perfect for a bit of peace and people-watching.

Evening: Pub Crawl and Traditional Music

As the sun sets, the city comes alive with music and laughter. Join a pub crawl and experience Cork’s vibrant nightlife. From traditional Irish music sessions to contemporary bands, there’s something for everyone. Our favourite spot? A charming pub with live music that’ll have you tapping your feet all night long.

Afternoon: Gourmet Lunch and Harbour Cruise

Kinsale is a foodie’s paradise, so indulge in a gourmet lunch at a local restaurant. Fresh seafood is a must-try! After lunch, set sail on a harbour cruise. The views are simply breathtaking, and it’s a fantastic way to see the town from a new perspective.

Evening: Sunset at Old Head of Kinsale

No trip to Kinsale is complete without visiting the Old Head of Kinsale. This dramatic headland offers some of the best views in Ireland, especially at sunset. Bring a camera – you’ll want to capture this moment!

Day 3: Countryside Bliss and Hidden Gems

West Cork is known for its artisan crafts and bustling markets. Spend the afternoon exploring local markets, where you can pick up unique handmade goods and chat with the artisans. It’s a great way to support local businesses and find one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
