Evening entertainment
Let’s face it - if you can’t have fun in the heart of Ireland you shouldn’t be away from home. Memories are sure to be found and lost just a short walk away in lively and bustling Cork. With its many bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants a good craic is guaranteed. Also, the hotel is in the City Centre and close to everything that you will need.
A trip to the Emerald Isle meets all the criteria for a fun and memorable tour. The beauty of the County Cork, Kinsale and the warmth of the people is legendary and the welcome to experience is unsurpassed.
Itinerary
Thursday
Early tourists arrive. To be met at Cork Airport and taken to the Quality Hotel in Cork City.

Remaining tourists arrive Cork Airport. All flights will be met and transferred to hotel.
Afternoon and evening at leisure - although activities can be arranged on request.
NB: We have use of the coach from Thursday am for transportation purposes anywhere or anytime within reason (subject to legal restrictions on drivers’ hours). Cork’s reign as European Capital of Culture 2005 may have come to a close, but Cork is still without a doubt one of the hottest city break destinations in Ireland within the Cork/Kerry region. Delve into this perfectly sized urban hub, and you’ll be rewarded with an astonishing array of excellent restaurants, chic bars and lively pubs, a strong local flavour and seriously good festivals. Right now, Cork is cool and confident; the city is feeling good about itself and it shows; the streets are looking smart, the shops are looking smooth and the ‘craic’ has never been better. There is also the Blarney Stone nearby.
