Travelling by hire car in Cork

Cork has been known as a city ever since the 13th century and has been attacked many times. Not only Vikings and Normans damaged the city, the Irish war of independence resulted in a fire which destroyed most of the city. The British army brought 'the burning of Cork', a fire that almost completely destroyed the city walls. Since then, the city has known many renovations and the main street has been renovated recently, in 2004. In 2005 Cork was the Cultural Capital of Europe. Some of the most impressive sights in the city are:

• St. Mary's Cathedral and St. Finbar's Cathedral
• Patrick Street, the main street and a pleasant shopping area
• Ballincollig, a suburb of Cork, with its beautiful location along the river Lee

The South of Ireland is a remarkable area. Many cities were founded by the Vikings and mixtures of Anglo-Scandinavian architecture can be found here. The cities in the south were also known for the large amounts of immigrants from here towards the USA, Canada and New-Zealand, among other destinations. County Cork presents some interesting areas, including:

• Blarney Stone, a large block of bluestone in Blarney Castle, 8 kilometres from Cork. According to legend, whoever kisses the stone is blessed with 'the gift of gab' or great skill of flattery. The stone attracts tourists from all over the world
• cities such as Waterford and Tramore. Waterford is supposedly the first city of Ireland
