Cork City is Ireland's second city, a free-spirited spot with a rich cultural heritage, reflected in its position as the 2005 European Capital of Culture.  There are plenty of traditional pubs and trendy cafes which makes it a good choice for a short break.  We also travel out of the city to a visit Kinsale, with its reputation for fine food and finally we take a trip along the stunning south coast.

The addition of a late November departure is designed to let us enjoy Cork City in the lead up to Christmas. On day four of the November tour we will not travel to Bantry but remain in Cork City for an extra day's shopping.
