Scavenger Hunt Cork

Scavenger Hunt Cork

11 Customers have rated this tour: 4,5 / 5

Cork is not only well-known for its wide range of cultural activities but is also considered the culinary capital of Ireland. The country’s second-largest city also impresses visitors with its unique location on the River Lee and with buildings dating back to all eras, from the Middle Ages to the modern age. So the “real capital” of the country, according to the inhabitants of Cork, is ideally suited to be discovered through a myCityHunt scavenger hunt in Cork.

What is unique about Cork is the location of the city center: it is situated on an island between two arms of the river Lee. The rocky bays at the nearby coast offer another scenic highlight of Cork and its surroundings. Besides the scenic splendor, Cork offers several architectonic and cultural gems. Above all, Cork is an entirely green city: a large number of parks, most notably Fitzgerald’s park in the center of Cork, provide space for recreation. A scavenger hunt in Cork shows you these highlights of the town and much more!

The town´s tourist attractions include gems such as the Red Abbey or the Blarney Castle with the legendary Blarney Stone. The scavenger hunt in Cork allows you to experience several of Cork´s historic sites. You will be amazed by the city´s architectural masterpieces while also getting a taste of Cork’s unique and lively flair. Thanks to its 35,000 students, Cork is a vibrant city that still preserves its traditions.

As an important hub of Irish cuisine, Cork enjoys its very own reputation, particularly with the legendary Cork Butter Museum.  But to learn more about Irish cuisine, you do not necessarily have to visit a museum. You will have plenty of opportunities to experience the local cuisine during your scavenger hunt in Cork. The English Market in the center of the city is one of the best food markets in Europe. Or you can pass one of Cork’s numerous and occasionally historic breweries.

The scavenger hunt in Cork is not only a perfect way to get to know the city but also reveals some historical facts and exciting anecdotes. Did you know that, depending on the angle of the viewer, the four clocks of St. Anne´s church tower appear to show different times? Today the tower is nicknamed “The Four Faced Liar” and is a symbol of a beautiful Cork, where clocks tick differently.
You too can experience Cork’s fascinating character during your scavenger hunt and get to know this unique city in a completely different way!
