Cork the true centre of Irish mercantile tradition, is a must for any traveller wishing to flavour the culture of the Irish South. A bustling and self-conscious city of under half a million people, Cork enjoys its position of second city of the republic, as is testified to by its numerous public monuments and historic streetscapes. The city centre remains remarkable relaxed despite the hectic bustle of the 'Celtic Tiger', epitomised in the computer and pharmacological plants that lace the port areas to the south.
