説明

Take a guided stroll through historic Cork, a riverfront city of steeples, bridges, quays and character. Just a short coach ride through rolling countryside from the Cobh pier, Cork is Ireland’s second city, yet compact and strong on Old World charm – a place seemingly made for walking, with its city center set on an island tucked between channels of the Lee River. Your unhurried town walk hops back and forth over bridges, each of them different and many of them quite old, as spectacular vantage points and photo opportunities come into view. Some key landmarks seen include City Hall, the Old Courthouse and triple-spired St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral, where you’ll pay a visit to admire the fine Cork marble work within. Later, you’ll venture into the city’s cosmopolitan heart, where cafes, bookshops and antiquarian shops line pedestrian lanes along North Main Street and Castle Street. When you reach the nearly 400-year-old English Market, take some time for free-range browsing of stalls where you’ll find traditional Cork food, fresh fruit and vegetables, colorful butcher shops and fishmongers, and artisan cheeses and breads. Even Queen Elizabeth II has shopped here.
