We recently went for a walk along the front in Cobh and were very dissapointed to see how run down the town looked.

It was like going back in time. Walking around the town and chatting with the locals was one of my favorite towns in Ireland. The people were absolutely amazing.

Well worth the drive to view a very picturesque city! The Titanic centre is a rip off but the historical connection worth visiting the town. Twelve euros to visit what should be a memorial and thus free entry???

Pretty coastal town. Real attraction was the Titanic experience. Located in the original White Star ticket office. Unique experience being given a named passenger's ticket! Very interesting and moving!

Food wasn't very interesting.. Now we only had the early bird so our choice was limited. That said, the service was really good.

I love Cobh. So much history and such a lovely location. Make sure to check out the cathedral (it's free but try to leave a donation to help with running costs) and obviously the Titanic expire nice is great too. There's lots of places to enjoy a ye coffee (or something stronger ;) and soak up the ambiance.

we went to cobh to see the last place the titanic sailed from. We had been up in Belfast the week before so getting the whole titanic experience was a must for me. I have been interested in the history and the stories of the titanic for year. We enjoyed a lovely walk thru the town. We did not take...

The culture of Cobh is brilliant, the atmosphere around the town on a Fri morning is great with the farmers market in full swing on a lovely sunny day.
