This narrated journey reveals Cork, a university city of jazz, film, opera, and theater that retains a country town's charm and friendliness. On your tour you'll pass Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, a grand structure crowned by three lofty spires that perches on the south side of the River Lee and a site for Christian worship since the 7th century. Its striking exterior is adorned with sculptures, including gargoyles; carvings at the entrances depict Biblical figures. Continue to the Old Courthouse, thought to be Ireland's finest illustration of Neo-Classical architecture, and then to Cork City Hall, home to first-rate concert hall, to witness its domed clock tower. The Old Courthouse is thought to be Ireland's finest illustration of Neo-Classical architecture, and the Shandon Bells were cast by Abel Rudhall in 1750. After a day of culture and architecture, relax with an Irish coffee in a local pub.
