The real magic of Ireland hides in that tiny seaside village where the bartender knew everyone\u2019s grandmother?<\/em>
That\u2019s the thing about Ireland. The glossy brochures push the big city highlights, but the towns to visit in Ireland comes with misty morning ocean breezes, the clinking sailboat masts, and the spontaneous late-night fiddle sessions. Securing cheap flights to Ireland<\/a> gets you across the pond, but taking the steering wheel and aiming for the coast is where the actual core memories get made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perched on the edge of Cork Harbour, Cobh (pronounced Cove<\/em>) hits you with an immediate splash of vibrant color. Steep streets cascade toward the water, lined by a famous row of Victorian houses affectionately called the “Deck of Cards.” Rising right behind them, St. Colman\u2019s Cathedral rings its carillon bells over the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobh holds a heavy yet fascinating place among the famous towns in Ireland as the final port of call for the RMS Titanic in 1912, as well as the main departure point for millions of Irish emigrants during the Great Famine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
