Highlights
- Oliver Plunkett Street - Oliver Plunkett Street is the longest street and the most-trafficked shopping district in Cork. Here we’ll visit our first shop along with checking out various other shops in the area.
- The English Market - One of the oldest and certainly the best covered market in Europe, it has survived famine, flood, war, fires, and multiple recessions to remain a strong part of Cork’s retail environment. In the English Market, we’ll provide a brief overview along with highlighting some of our favorite shops in the market. We recommend coming back after the tour to spend more time here.
- Bishop Lucey Park - Bishop Lucey Park is a public park located between Grand Parade and South Main Street in the centre of Cork in Ireland. It is one of few green spaces in the city centre and among the largest.
- National Monument - Early Irish Gothic national monument commemorating the rebellions, unveiled in 1906. We’ll give a brief history of this monument and how it relates to the history of Cork.
- Rory Gallagher Memorial Sculpture - Honorary bronze statue of the renowned native rock & blues guitarist in a plaza dedicated to him. You’re welcome to take some photos with Rory while we tell you a bit about him and his relationship to Cork.
- Crawford Art Gallery - Known informally as the Crawford, it was designated a ‘National Cultural Institution’ in 2006. We’ll briefly walk past and provide some history around the gallery and why we think it’s important to the history of Cork.

Underground Donut Tour - Mary Sol was very knowledgeable and fun. She took us to historic sites and also some fantastic donut shops! She talked about the history of Cork and some more recent things like Cillian Murphy (who is from Cork) winning the Oscar.

A unique opportunity to learn more about Cork and sample delicious donuts - The tour was fun and informative, and the donuts were delicious. Chloe did a great job of sharing the history of Cork and keeping our family engaged. We had a wide range of ages from teenagers to grandparents and all had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great donuts and Cork City history tour! - This was our second Underground Donut Tour (one in NYC, this one in Cork IE) and it was great! The best part was the history tour that went along with the donuts. We were with friends later in the vacation who hadn't gone on the donut tour and when we walked around Cork pointing things out to them, it became a joke "did you learn that TOO on the donut tour?" By the end they had decided they would do a donut tour next time they travel somewhere new. The pastries were excellent, not all were donuts but were of very high quality and we wished we had time to revisit some of them later in our trip. We'll definitely do an Underground Donut tour again. Although pricey, it is worth it in quantity of donuts and the history tour two-fer.

Amazing experience - Highly recommended experience. Marysol adapted to us at all times and made the tour very enjoyable and fun. Also, I didn't understand English very well and seeing that we were Spanish, he did it in Spanish for my comfort. I would definitely repeat
