When the city crest and motto is Latin for “a safe harbor for ships,” it is evident you have sailed into friendly waters. This is true of Cork, Ireland, the island’s third-largest city, and coincidentally, home to the second-largest natural harbor in the world. Food enthusiasts can delight here, as Cork has also been dubbed Ireland’s gastro capital. Those seeking a bit of that “luck of the Irish” can make their way to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney stone and test its powers. Regardless of the path you choose, timeless beauty and unique, hearty flavors await you in Cork.
