Easter at The Metropole Hotel Cork

Things to do this Easter in Cork City

Here are a few suggestions for your Easter break in Cork City

The Victorian Quarter is known for its vibrant streets and boutique shops. The Met Bar and Restaurant reflect the great food offerings in this area of Cork, you won’t be short of a place to grab a really good coffee. Next to the hotel is The Everyman Theatre, check their schedule of shows and you may be able to get tickets to a show.

Next up a visit to the English Market is a must, bring your shopping bag as there are so many uniquely Cork foods to take home as well as crafts and treats. The atmosphere is fun and you are meeting the makers at each stall.

Now it’s time to challenge yourselves to a climb up to the iconic Shandon Bells tower of St Anne’s church, it’s so worth the climb with panoramic views of the city from the top.

The Crawford Gallery has beautiful artwork from all around Europe to enjoy and St Patrick’s Street and Oliver Plunkett Street are filled with big-name shops and smaller more boutique shops. They are all within walking distance of the hotel.  Take your pick of where to go next, Cork Gaol has a museum full of engaging exhibitions or take to the River Lee by Kayak with lanterns by night or maybe a cruise. Our concierge has lots of great ideas to suit everyone’s taste, these are just a few popular activities our guests have enjoyed.
