With a population of 180,000, Cork (Gaelic: Corcaigh ) is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland, and is situated on the banks of the River Lee in the south of the county.
Cork has a small city centre. A backpacker will most likely be staying, eating, drinking and touring in the city centre. Since the City was founded by St Finbarr over 1,000 years ago, it has grown from a small merchant town into a cosmopolitan and vibrant city that within the Republic of Ireland is second only to Dublin in size and importance.
