PREVIEW:
Cork city, the second City of the Republic of Ireland, has a
population of 140,000 people, Like Venice, Cork City is built
upon the waters, and City Centre is built on an island in the
River Lee just upstream of Cork Harbour. The two channels of the
River Lee which embraces the City centre are spanned by no less
than sixteen bridges and this gives the City a distinctive
Continental air. However it is often said of Cork City that it
has all the amenities of a large City, but still retains its
pleasant atmosphere, and extreme friendliness, which you will
experience on your visit to the City.
