Locally referred to as ‘the real capital of Ireland’, Cork is a cosmopolitan city with grand Georgian avenues, 17th-century alley-ways, and stretches of waterfront housing artisan coffee shops, trendy bars, award-winning eateries, and a mix of independent, high-street, and designer shops. Cork has a vibrant nightlife, owing to the city’s youthful, welcoming ambience. Its role in the country’s long history means Cork has a wealth of heritage sites and landmarks, including two cathedrals, Blackrock Castle, and English Market. Cork is the centre of industry in the South of Ireland, with the pharmaceutical and IT industries being two of its most important employers.
