A place where beautiful landscapes blend flawlessly with the rich history to create an unforgettable holiday experience. Breathe in the crisp Irish air, let the lush green surroundings calm your senses and prepare to be dazzled by Cobh’s stunning architecture.
Cobh was known as Queenstown for over 70 years. It was renamed ‘Cobh’ in 1922, which in Irish means ‘cove’.
Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) are the best times to visit Cobh Ireland. These months offer mild weather, making it perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Relive history at the Cobh Heritage Centre, enjoy a walking tour of the town, embark on a sea-fishing voyage, and make sure to catch a traditional Irish music session at a local pub!
Expect to spend about €25-€30 per person on meals per day. Entrance fees for attractions range from €6-€10. For transportation, budget around €10-€20 per day, based on the number of attractions visited.
The best way to explore Cobh is on foot. For longer distances, you can use local taxi services or rent a bike for a fun and eco-friendly option.
Unfortunately, Cobh doesn’t have an airport. The nearest is Cork Airport, about 20 minutes away. From there, you can catch a direct bus to Cobh.
Getting a visa to Ireland is a straightforward process. Most countries get a visa on arrival, while passport holders from visa-waiver countries won’t need a visa at all. Surely, you’ll be welcome with open arms!
