For those who like to experience the buzz of markets, check out the Marina Market on the banks of the River Lee, where you will find an array of stallholders from art, craft, street food and enjoy a flat white and take a break from all that shopping.
Afternoon Tea & Bubbles
After a morning of discovering all on offer in Cork City, why not treat yourselves to a leisurely afternoon treat and book in for an Afternoon Tea. Enjoy a traditional afternoon tea with a selection of savoury treats, homemade scones and pretty pastries to feast on over countless cups of tea. You could always add some flutes of Prosecco or your favourite cocktail, we won’t tell.
