Cork & Blarney: Castle Day Tour from Dublin
About this experience
Discover Ireland's southern capital on a day tour from Dublin, and experience the timeless charm and culture of Cork. Depart from Dublin Heuston Station and meander the emerald-green patchwork of countryside by train, and arrive at Cork by 09:35. There, a comfy coach awaits to whisk you through Cork City en route to Blarney Village. Hop off to explore the historic Blarney Castle & Gardens and kiss the fabled Blarney Stone, said to bestow you with powers of eloquence ('the gift of the gab'). Don't worry, WHO-approved hygiene and safety measures are in place!
Once you've conquered the castle and claimed the gift of the gab, the tour will ramble toward Cóbh, for a visit to St. Colman’s Cathedral. The coach will then proceed down along the seafront towards to a beautifully restored Victorian railway station that is now the Cóbh Heritage Centre, home to the Queenstown Story. The centre also houses a wealth of information about the Great Famine and subsequent Irish Emigration.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
