WHY CORK?

Second largest city in Ireland and nicknamed the Rebel city, its name from the Irish word for marsh - Corcaigh. Saint Finbarr, its patron saint, founded a monastery here around 650AD, the Vikings established a colony on the 10th century. It`s narrow alley ways, waterways and Georgian architecture helps to give the city a genuine continental feel. Cork became a base in the 19th century for the National Fenian Movement, and thus gained the title of the Rebel City. Each year it holds the world famous Jazz Festival, a lively weekend attracting jazz enthusiasts and fun seekers from all corners. The city center is very amenable to walking - there are over 30 bridges across the two channels of the river, and while few of the buildings from prior to the nineteenth century survive, the street layout is interesting and the Architecture can be also. Not only does Cork revel in its reputation for fine food and drink, the city also regards itself as the country`s only genuine guardian of Celtic culture.
