We will continue our journey to the city of Limerick, where there will be free time to stroll through its streets and have lunch in front of the River Shannon. After lunch, we will head to County Cork, known as "The Valley of Gold". This region has spectacular landscapes, cultural and gastronomic richness, and a historical heritage that rivals other great cities in Ireland. Barley production made Cork one of the country's leading whiskey producers. In Cork, we will take a panoramic tour of the city, visiting emblematic places such as the Church of St. Anne Shandon, famous for its leaning bell tower, the Clock of Lies and the Protestant Cathedral of St. Finbar. We will discover that Cork, like Venice, is a city built on water and is home to one of the largest commercial ports in the world.
