Hey, I’ve only been to Cork city a few times. I enjoyed climbing to the top of the hill in the middle of Cork to look over the city. Try a pint of Murphy’s or Beamish in Cork but Guinness when you are in Dublin. If you find the taste bitter ask for the barman to add a shot of blackcurrant to sweeten them up. In Dublin go to the Gravity Bar at the top of the Guinness factory for a view over the whole city. In Dublin Moore St. is interesting, so is the Georges St arcade and Grafton St. Wherever you go try to talk to as many local people as you can. They will be happy to help.
