Useful information about the flight from Edinburgh to Cork
Pretty Cork on Emerald Ireland
Surrounded by beautiful green countryside and sitting on a river, Cork is very pleasant and makes for a lovely break. With a varied and fascinating history which dates back 1400 years, Cork also has some brilliant landmarks and old buildings to visit and diverse culture to experience. Great folk and Jazz music and a relaxed ambiance draw travellers back here time and time again. Wonderful local produce and food are also a pull for many. But don't let this fool you into thinking Cork is just another 'foodies' and culture town. With a lively University scene and many pharmaceutical companies based here, the atmosphere is decidedly 21st century.
Best of Cork
Cork has mild, but unreliable weather with frequent rain, which is why it is so green and fertile. Winters are also mild and temperatures rarely fall below freezing. However, Cork is one of the sunniest cities in Ireland.
The Cork Midsummer Festival, which sees one month of arts and events from mid June, is an annual highlight. There's also the Cork Folk Festival in October which attracts top Irish musicians and sessions, and a Jazz Festival in the last week of October, as well as a Film Festival at the beginning of November.
Cork facts before you go

The city centre is not big, and easily explorable on foot. The cost of living is nearly always cheaper here than London, and a basic meal out is about 12EUR, with a beer at around 3EUR.
