What to do and see in Ballintemple, Province of Munster: The Best Things to do

August 15, 2021 Margarita Chappel

Plan to cross many bridges when in Cork. Ireland's third-largest city began life as an island and now spans both banks of the River Lee, with watery channels running beneath some of its main thoroughfares. The best way to experience this hilly southern seaport is on foot, following the signposted walking tour past St. Finn Barre's Cathedral and the riverside quadrangle of University College up the hill to red and white Shandon Church. Along the way, you'll meet plenty of the city's talkative residents.

Just had a delightful visit to Nano Nagle Place. Even though we had to queue for lunch it was so worth the wait. The menu was amazing and the food delicious. Coffee is top class. After lunch we had a guided tour through the fascinating museum and rooms that Nano used to frequent. The interactive slides and videos are very interesting and informative. The gardens hold lots of surprises including water features and beautiful spaces. A lovely, peaceful oasis in the middle of Cork City. Well worth a visit.

No Escape

Get locked in a specificaly prepered theme room for 60 minutes. Find clues, reveal secrets and solve brain and agility tasks. You do not need to have any special knowledge to solve the puzzles and have a good time. Immerse into a theme, cooperate and think outside the box to escape!

...spot of live music you may imagine if you like quality. Night after night great performers, some nights went magic. I surely recommend for a nice pint of stout and some guitar or bass or drum solos

National Kart Centre, Cork

Reviewed By Thewatsons15 - Higham Ferrers, United Kingdom

Well we wanted to go go karting..... so found this place had to call to book as Internet doesn’t allow but i prefer to speak to people anyway as you get a feel for who your dealing with. Lovely guy on phone not sure of name but normally doesn’t work there as a rule. Quite glad we got him as the other staff when we arrived didn’t seem overall bothered but thankfully the guy we had was fabulous if we had of had the others i don’t think we would be so kind on review.... they wouldn’t even have eye contact with us let alone speak. The guy we had was a younger richard Rawlings look alike and was fun, friendly and very helpful. So hence the epic review. Great track for fun, everyone had a good time, and would definitely book again and be back as fun for all the family. Thank you to the guy we had as you made our experience brilliant. See you soon Is a bit of a drive but worth the 6 hours round trip
