City Guide:
CORK is the second largest city in Ireland.
Some Corkonians consider the city to be the capital of the Republic of Ireland. Cork lies on the river Lee, which divides into two channels to the west. The city’s heart is located in this piece of land surrounded by the Lee. Cork has great cultural importance and was called the European Capital of Culture in 2005. Some ratings have named Cork to be among the top 10 most popular tourist destinations. There are a number of festivals held annually in the city. They include the Midsummer Festival of poetry and art, Film Festival featuring the best Irish and international films, as well as the Jazz Festival, one of the biggest of its kind in Europe.
