Cork Among TimeOut's Best Destinations to Visit in 2025

Cork has been ranked third in TimeOut's influential 14 Best City Breaks in Europe for 2025.

Described as the "cooler, more chilled younger sibling to jam-packed Dublin", TimeOut praised Cork's creative art and live music scene as being one of the biggest draws to the city.
