Cobh, initially known as Ballyvoloon, proudly sits on Great Island in Cork Harbour and is home to Ireland's only dedicated cruise terminal. Serving as the canvas for notable figures in medieval Irish legends, this town of around 13,000 residents has a storied past etched deep in its heart. Cobh, a significant departure point for Irish emigrants to North America holds a significant place in early transatlantic travel narrative, and its impeccable taste in the arts anchored by the Sirius Arts Centre makes it a cultural hub.

This maritime town, formerly known as Queenstown, was the last port of call for the RMS Titanic, adding a dark yet captivating layer to its rich history. Today, it presents a blend of the old and new, with renowned tourist attractions and flourishing developments in retail and leisure. You can explore its deep roots of emigration history at the Cobh Heritage Centre, relive the Titanic's journey at the Titanic Experience, or imbibe in its strong naval presence at the Irish Naval Service headquarters on Haulbowline Island.

When to visit Cobh

If you savour moderately comfortable temperatures and low chances of significant precipitation, late July's highs of around 18.7°C marks the perfect time to visit Cobh. Want to avoid the rain? Consider touring in September, May, or April. And if saving on accommodation costs tickles your fancy, plan your travel in November—the least expensive month to visit Cobh.

Before embarking on your Irish adventure, do ensure to stay abreast with any recent changes or regions to avoid in Cobh. Board a commuter train, one of the few regular connections outside of Dublin, or if you’re flying in, Cork Airport is merely a swift 20-30 minute drive away.
