CORK CITY, IS IT BETTER THAN DUBLIN ?

[@realtorkathleenoconnell35]

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!!"

Im from Spain and I was looking for some information about the city, this video makes an impact on me and impulse me to accelerate the process of moving to live there. Thank you so much for that, really good video sir!

[@timward3116]

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.]

It's a lovely city, Tim.👍😊

[@timward3116]

@@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!

[@RuthBVC]

Ireland is beautiful,each city/ town is unique.

[@courtneyC2009]

Absolutely agree, no 2 places are the same each place is uniquely different and has its own attractions. I genuinely can't say I've been to a county and thought oh I won't go back there. I love our island ❤️

[@TrueLife3737]

Thanks dude for the video! Very interesting and educational.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Your welcome Ivan.👍😊

[@courtneyC2009]

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. 😁

Hello Astramom. You could stay in Cobh, it's beautiful. You could also go to Cork City by train, the station is right beside the cruise terminal. Hope you have a great time, or maybe I'm to late with my reply.👍😊

[@velvetunderpants44]

Honestly. as a local, Kinsale is far better than Cobh It's got more history, a beach and amazing restaurants. City Centre and Kinsale for a few hours?

Thanks for the video. Always considering new places to go, but the more I see the more I realise that York in England is probably the most stunning city i've ever been to. I'll have to try Cork, but I've hear Schull is the best town. Cork reminds me of Leeds for some reason. There's definately similarities.

[@Crochet_queen84]

Very interesting, I have never been to Cork. Was that the summer you where there? Can we expect a Christmas video?

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Absolutely Chris. Well worth a visit. 👍😊🇮🇪🇬🇧

[@EoinIcantloseHurley]

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.

Nothing wrong with being backwards, Cork's more laid back and less frantic. I like both Cities myself. Every place has its own pace. Galway has a different charm, as has Limerick. It's what you make of it really.
