Blarney Castle

An age-old Medieval bulwark privy to some of Ireland's greatest treasures, the profoundly impressive Blarney Castle stands amid rolling green expanses. Though a host of structures have stood on this spot since 1200, the extant Blarney Castle and its surrounding grounds were constructed in 1446 by Cormac McCarthy, King of Munster. King McCarthy is said to have helped Robert the Bruce, the King of Scots, by supplying him with military aid, and in return, Robert the Bruce gave the King McCarthy half of the Stone of Scone, which many people know as the legendary Blarney Stone. Part of the rectangular fortress' time-weathered facade, the Blarney Stone is the subject of a generational legend. It is believed that kissing the Blarney Stone will give one the 'gift of gab' - an ability to flatter others eloquently. Today, visitors to the castle travel from far to wander around its stunning grounds, explore the nooks and crannies of the castle, and, of course, kiss the Blarney Stone.

Crawford Art Gallery Cork

Cork Public Museum

This 18 acre site with a Georgian house was presented to the Cork Corporation in 1907 by the Cork International Exhibition Association. The site became Fitzgerald Park, a lovely garden in a clean part of the city. The building, known as the Shrubberies, was first turned into a museum in 1909. It became the location for the Municipal offices after the burning of the city hall by the Black and Tans, and re-opened as the present museum in 1945. The collections cover local history and date back to the Mesolithic period, with particular emphasis placed on civic regalia and the trades and crafts of the 19th and 20th centuries. Other collections include Cork silver and glass and delicate Youghal lace.

Triskel Arts Centre

Located in a historic building that was a former church, Triskel Arts Centre is an amalgamation of cinema, music and visual art. Each month, the center presents a varied schedule of events, featuring artists and performers from both, home and abroad. Guided tours are available of the venue every Tuesday and Thursday to explore the history of the church.

Camden Fort Meagher

Whether you’re staying in or visiting the city of Cork, Ireland, the weekends are a perfect opportunity to visit Camden Fort Meagher.
