Bradt’s guide to Cork illustrates that the city which often plays second fiddle to Dublin is by no means second best for visitors wishing to experience genuine laid-back, Irish charm. Soak up the city’s authentic character on one of the speciality tours, taking in breweries and distilleries, or a literary walk. Sample the local cuisine on any budget and find out where to experience Irish sports such as hurling and Gaelic football. There is also ample opportunity to venture further a-field by taking a day trip. This handy, pocket-sized guide is packed with essential information and offers exceptional local knowledge for a genuine Irish encounter.
• Comprehensive guide to annual festivals: film, jazz, theatre
• Where and when to experience Irish sports including hurling and Gaelic football
• Day trips from this gateway city to Ireland’s rugged west coast
• An eating guide for gourmets

Reader Reviews
"Excellent book – good range of accommodation and off-the-beaten track places listed. Straight forwardly written and not too backpackerish, think the guides occupy their own niche, great stuff!"
