Today, we head to the beautiful city of Cork. Like Venice, Cork is built on the water, with the city centre blossoming from an island on the River Lee. You will find a myriad of bridges and quays, adding to the romance and personality of this picturesque city.
Our next stop is Blarney Castle, which incorporates the famous 'Blarney Stone' (entrance extra – approximately €15 per person). Tradition has it that kissing the stone will bestow upon the kisser the art of flattery and successful lying!
