Overview

Ireland’s second city was shaped by centuries of rebellion and invasion. On this walking tour around Cork’s medieval quarter, you’ll hear tales of the rebels and rulers who roamed these streets during its turbulent history.

You’ll hear how Vikings sailed up the River Lee to establish settlements that grew into medieval Cork. As you wind through narrow streets, once canals in this ‘Venice of the North,’ you’ll learn how public executions at Gallow’s Green became entertainment for crowds of 20,000. You’ll also hear the miraculous story of the hanged man who survived his execution – and then interrupted a theatre performance to share the news.

By the end of this tour, you’ll have a newfound appreciation for Cork’s remarkable history, brought vividly to life through tales of saints and sinners, rebels and rulers.
