Getting to Cork from ship terminal

[1965]

We've been to Cobh a couple of times & took excursions. We'll be there in June & would like to do Cork on our own. Any recommendations for getting to Cork from the ship? Tia.

There is a direct train that runs every 30 mins to Cork

Take the light rail into the main train station.  The Cobh station is by the waterfront, easy to find.  Taxis are available at the Cork Train station.  The English Market is very nice. There is a hop on hop off, but we’ve never done that,

Rail service right at the pier. If I remember correctly the rail terminal in Cork is a good walk to town center.

20 minutes.  Walk straight along McCurtain Street, and turn left down over St Patrick's Bridge and into St. Patrick's Street.

Take the train which is literally sitting at the pier in Cobh.  Comes every 30 minutes.  Easy peasy.   A 10 minute walk to the city centre from the train station.  You could also go to Blarney from Cork by city bus. Real cheap.  4 euros return for the bus. I seem to remember the bus would be Number 215. But Google maps would tell you.
