Cork Getting Around

Getting Around Cork - Wander the city streets on foot
Cork city breaks are easily manageable without the need or reliance on public transport as it is a compact city with all important points of interest located in a reasonably small area. Hotel accommodation, bars and restaurants are all situated centrally and walking is the perfect way to get a sense of true Cork atmosphere and lifestyle. Taxis are abundant during daylight hours and can be hailed in the street or from numerous designated stands. Reservations are recommended for late night journeys however, particularly at weekends as demand far outstrips supply.

Getting Around Cork - Take a tour of the city by bus
An interesting way to get around on a Cork city break is to take a tour bus which travels regularly between all major sights and attractions and can be boarded and alighted at will offering a flexible, tailor made tour itinerary for all visitors. This is the ideal way for those short of time or visiting on day trips. An efficient local bus service operates from the main thoroughfare of St Patrick’s Street to all main city centre attractions, suburban areas and outlying villages in County Cork. Frequent services ensure rewarding excursions by bus can be completed with ease into the picturesque countryside and along the coastline and are cheap and hassle free.

Getting Around Cork - Venture further by car and train
For those who simply cannot live without four wheels, many car hire companies can be found at the airport and in the city centre and offer models to suit all tastes and budgets. Cork has extremely efficient traffic planning with countless multi storey car parks and many hotels will provide off road parking. Cork rail services are infrequent but provide another alternative to travel within the region and across Ireland with routes servicing Dublin and historic towns such as Cobh and Tralee.
