Discover the Rebel City with a new guide to Cork

Known as the Rebel City because of its revolutionary spirit and history of resistance, Cork is a city full of stories, steeped in history and with a unique character.

A new Rebel's Guide to Cork has recently been launched to help visitors explore the heart and soul of the city in Ireland’s Ancient East. The interactive resource is packed with information about the best restaurants, bars, museums and landmarks in Cork.

With insider tips and recommendations from local experts, visitors can discover the hidden gems and secret spots that only the locals know about and capture the true spirit of Cork.

The Rebel's Guide to Cork features an easy-to-use map interface that allows visitors to plan their route and explore at their own pace. By clicking on a destination, they get information and directions.

There is also information for anyone interested in doing some volunteer work during their visit, with a link to iVolunteer Cork.

The Rebel's Guide to Cork has been created by Rebel City Tour, which runs walking tours of the city that delve into stories of Cork’s famous heroes and villains and give an authentic insight into how the city was shaped in the War of Independence.

Led by a passionate Cork man, the tour is story based and visits the city‘s historic neighbourhoods, quaint alleyways and lively streets.

Rebel City Tour also offers additional experiences including the opportunity to learn how to pull the perfect pint of Guinness in an Irish pub. You can also take a short lesson to learn a bit of Irish or enjoy a whiskey tasting experience.

Among the must-visit places in Cork city are the seventeenth-century Elizabeth Fort, St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, considered to be a Neo-Gothic masterpiece, and Cork City Gaol, a magnificent castle-like building.

Foodies will savour a visit to the English Market where epicurean delights abound, and to the Franciscan Well Brewery where an extensive range of award-winning craft beers, ales, lagers and stouts can be enjoyed.
