Following an extension to the city's boundaries in 2019, it's population is 210,000 thousand. It is also know as the culinary capital of Ireland, a city where you're actively encouraged to gorge. And there is know better introduction to Cork's foodie scene than than the fantastic English Market.

    Definitely Cork!! My Father was born and raised in Prosperity Square Cork City and when I was 10 we moved from New York to Ballincollig, Cork till I was 18 "UP CORK!!"

    I lived in Cork City and Dublin decades ago - before either were fancified. And even back then, Cork impressed the heck out of me. Loved it! If it weren't for the twists and turns of life and the needs of the present, I'd live there now if I could!

      @@donstravelsandrants. I haven't been there since 1976 and I STILL miss it. What amazed me even back then was the hustle and bustle of the city. It seemed like a really big city with nice architecture and something for everyone -even back then. Dublin, which actually IS a big city, certainly was no better and, to me, felt impersonal. I just could not feel the kind of connection with Dublin that I felt with Cork. I know why Corkonians are so proud of their city. Thank you for the great video!

    West Cork definitely has a bit more attraction than the city, but we do have an amazing city ro be fair kind of offer a bit of everything depending on what you looking. But I would absolutely recommend visiting towns like clonakilty, kinsale crosshaven etc beautiful places with great people and plenty to do and see. You won't be disappointed. After cork I'd recommend kerry absolutely beauty county breath taking scenery and just has a real attraction to the place. My favourite place to visit no matter what time of the year. 😁

      You should come in the summer and try and catch a game of Hurling. Cork play Tipperary on the 6th of May and that should be a good game to go to.
      Alternatively you could come in June when there's a load of live acts coming to the city(Prodigy, Chemical Brothers etc)
      Or you could wait till the end of the year when the Jazz festival hits town... it's one of the biggest in Europe and the city gets really lively for it. Even people that aren't into Jazz go along with it just to enjoy the atmosphere.
      I would also free up another day or 2 to explore the Harbour and West Cork aswell.
