Enjoy a fantastic historic tour of Cobh with a certified guide. Learn more about Cobh’s importance as a tourist port and strategic military area in Cork Harbour.

Dive deep into the story of two of the world’s most famous cruise ships: the Titanic and the Lusitania, and their close historic connections to this place.

Little by little, we will get closer to the highest place in town to have a look in Saint Colman’s Cathedral, an impressive building representative of the French Neo-Gothic style which features the largest carillon of the isles.
