Pastel-Colored Day Trip: Cork & Cobh Hill Walk 🍬

Since you're in Cork, don't miss the adorable pastel seaside town of Cobh! 🍭 Hop on a 26-min train from Cork Kent Station (departs every 30 mins, Leap Card accepted—remember to tap off!). 🍬 Cobh 🍬 (3-4 hours is plenty!) 📍 St. Colman’s Cathedral Free entry! Listen to the hourly bell chimes and snap pics of Fig.5’s colorful houses from the nearby park 🏠. 📍 Deck of Cards Houses Instagram-worthy rainbow rows on steep slopes: 🔸 Fig.1: Search "West View Park" 🔸 Fig.6: "Spy Hill"—hold your camera over the wall for a perfect shot of houses + the cathedral! 📍 Titanic Experience Cobh Opens at 9AM (book ahead or walk-in). Chinese audio guides available! Your ticket is a replica boarding pass—mine was Kate Murphy (a lucky survivor!). 📍 Kennedy Park Chill by the sea, soak up the sun, and enjoy the breeze 🌊 📍 Cobh Heritage Centre Right by the train station, with cute souvenir shops & cafés. 🍬 Cork 🍬 (Charming & Laid-Back) 📍 Patrick’s Hill Climb for a panoramic city view—great workout with a reward! 📍 University College Cork (UCC) A Harry Potter filming location! The lush campus feels like a park. 📍 Cork City Gaol Closes at 5PM (€11 entry). Skip unless you're curious about 19th-century jail life 😆 📍 English Market A bustling fresh food market—slightly pricier but full of local charm! 📍 Pompeii Pizza Opens at 1PM—hand-stretched, thin-crust perfection! I adventurously tried black pudding (blood sausage!) + blue cheese… an interesting combo! 💡 Tips ✅ Cobh’s hills are steep—wear comfy shoes! ✅ Titanic exhibit: Check your passenger’s fate at the end! ✅ Pizza adventure: Black pudding = blood sausage (who knew?!). #Ireland #StudyAbroad #EuropeTravel #Cork #TravelDiaries
