Go To Cork!

Wait, you're going to Ireland but only visiting Dublin? There's so much more to Ireland than that wonderful city! In fact, there's Ireland's second largest city and second-best sightseeing launching point, Cork. Think of Cork as another base on the southern tip of Ireland, allowing you to see the lower half of Ireland much easier.

So what's close to Cork? Well, Blarney Castle in Blarney, Ireland with the Blarney Stone! Also, Killarney is nice large town within short driving distance. Also, it's nice just to drive the roads and see the countryside along with the shores of Ireland. Our recommendation, Just Go and look around until you see something worth stopping to take pictures of (it won't take long) and then repeat!

Cork is also a destination within itself. It may seem contradicting, but Cork was the main shove-off point for people emigrating from Ireland during the Great Famine and has many monuments and building commemorating this. Cork was Europe's "Capitol of European Culture" in 2005 and has gained instant fame in tourism because of it. There are many monuments and beautiful buildings, but there's even more beautiful landscape and people.
