The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the Munster Kings until they donated the complex to the Catholic Church for use as a cathedral almost 1,000 years ago. It is one of Europe’s finest examples of medieval architecture. This tour’s entrance fee (EUR 7) is included in the price.

Cork

In Cork, Ireland’s southern capital, you’ll have one hour and thirty minutes to yourself. The gourmet English Markets (1788) are a highlight, with a wide variety of food stalls showcasing the best of local produce.

Cork has a lively Irish atmosphere and is recognized as the “Rebel City” for its fierce resistance during the War of Independence.
