I’m really excited to interview Amber Haggerty of Amber Everywhere about Cork, Ireland. Amber’s tips for the best things to do in Cork are awesome because she moved to Ireland in August 2020 and loves Cork’s rebellious nature, the friendliness of the locals, and its proximity to the rest of Europe.

Getting around Cork
The local airport is Cork Airport (ORK), which is about a ten-minute drive to the city. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Amber says that, if you’re staying downtown, there’s no need to rent a car. If you want to explore outside of Cork, then you will need to rent a car. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
When you only need a car for a couple of hours, you can rent by the hour with Zipcar. Join now to get $25 loaded into your account.

I wear Bluffworks jeans, slacks, dress shirts, and blazers because they’re wrinkle-free and are designed for the modern traveler. And if they get dirty, a quick spin in the washing machine and they’re good as new.
