Cork attractions

Gin, vodka, and absinthe are made at Rebel City Distillery, which opened in 2020 in a restored Cork factory. Today, this landmark is a working distillery and a local attraction offering tours, tastings, and cocktail classes. Reserve a spot for everything from absinthe tasting to spirit school to a straightforward distillery tour, which includes a gin and tonic.

An 18-acre (7.2-hectare) green space flanking the River Lee, Fitzgerald’s Park boasts a peaceful atmosphere, a fun playground for kids, and public art including a range of sculptures. Many visitors come here to visit Cork Public Museum, then stop to enjoy the shady benches, stroll among the blooming flowers and scenic fountain, or to have a riverside picnic.
