Shopping in Cork

Cork City centre is compact and pedestrian friendly. The main retail district was recently up-dated with new plazas, new paving, lighting, landscaping and street furniture. All of Ireland's major national and international stores are represented and you will find outlets retailing international brands as well as goods from renowned Irish designers.

The old Hugenot quarter around French Church Street and Carey's Lane with modern fashion boutiques, smart cafés and antique traders is a popular haunt for those with a keen eye for style.

Further from the city centre, the metropolitan area is well supplied with shopping malls. So, whether you are browsing for pleasure or providing for a family, Cork City is an excellent place to shop.
