Travel and Transportation to Cork

When to visit Cork?

The best time to travel in Ireland is generally summer, which runs from June to August. During this period, temperatures average between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, with longer days and more sunshine. It's the perfect time to explore the Irish countryside, enjoying the beautiful green landscapes, spectacular cliffs and picturesque castles. The warm, sunny days are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and picnics.

However, it's important to note that even in summer, it can rain frequently in Ireland. Showers are often brief but intense, so it's always advisable to bring an umbrella or waterproof jacket. Ireland is also prone to coastal fog, particularly along the Atlantic coast.
