Cork (Cobh), Ireland

The town of Cobh is the gateway to Cork, Ireland’s second-largest city. Norse Vikings arrived in Cork around 915 AD and established a port here. During medieval times, a wall was erected around the city, portions of which still remain today. The nearby Blarney Castle, famous for the kissing stone that is said to bestow the “gift of gab,” was also built during this time. Today, Cork is a rich and vibrant cultural center where Irish cuisine has reached new creative heights and a breathtaking array of architecture, from neoclassical to Georgian, graces the cityscape.
