• Blarney Castle & Gardens - Begin your afternoon adventure at the historic Blarney, home to Ireland’s most famous fortress. The plan is to arrive by 13:45, allowing plenty of time to explore the grounds and enjoy the atmosphere.

Take the chance to climb the battlements and lean back to kiss the renowned Blarney Stone. From the castle’s summit, enjoy sweeping views of the lush landscape—a scene so vivid it’s clear why Johnny Cash sang about the “Forty Shades of Green.”

To ensure a smooth and stress-free visit, your admission ticket is included in the tour price. This allows you to enter directly, skipping the ticket lines and saving EUR 24.00.

Before departing at 16:00, make sure to visit the Blarney Woollen Mills. Conveniently located next door, this iconic flagship store offers a premium selection of tax-free Irish crystal, knitwear, and traditional crafts to commemorate your trip.

• Cork - After leaving the castle grounds, enjoy a panoramic tour of Cork City—often referred to by locals as Ireland’s “real capital”!

As you travel along the River Lee, admire the impressive Gothic spires of St. Finbarre’s Cathedral, the notable Shandon Bells, and the lively English Market, a cultural cornerstone for centuries.

This city is full of icons. Discover revolutionary leader Michael Collins, who negotiated the British Empire’s exit from Ireland, and Manchester United’s legendary captain, Roy Keane. Additionally, learn about the local heritage of Henry Ford, the man who “put the world on wheels,” with family roots deeply embedded in Rebel County.
