Cork is dynamic, loud, full of students and great pubs . This second largest city in Ireland, called by the locals "the real capital", attracts much younger and more liberal society than Dublin .
Cork, Ireland - © Brate
Cork lies at the mouth of the River Lee, and its name comes from the Irish phrase , Corcach Mór Mumhan, which was used to describe the marshes of the province of Munster. Crossed by numerous canals, the city is worth visiting primarily for its varied Victorian architecture and the characteristic dark stout that has been brewed in local breweries for hundreds of years.
For whom?
Cork is a great destination for people who like lively student cities, historic architecture and good beer. Lots of good beer.

Sheilas Tourist Hostel
Backpacker hostel with mixed rooms. Nice if you're going to a party in the city, because it's really close to the center. There's also a lot going on in the hostel itself, so you shouldn't count on a quiet night. You don't come here to sleep????

Kinlay House Hostel Cork
A nice hostel close to the center. Nice decorations on the walls and neat, well-kept rooms. Very helpful and friendly service. The reception is open 24 hours a day, so when you come back in the morning you don't have to worry about kissing the doorknob.

Blackmore Court
Correct hotel at an affordable price. The center is a short walk away. An advantage is the ability to use the shared kitchen.

Killarney Guest House
Nice guest house with parking at the back of the house. A dozen or so minutes' walk to the center. Friendly service and quite okay breakfast. Unfortunately a bit noisy from the street.
