The Cork City Gaol is one of Cork’s premier tourist attractions. This castle-like prison is reachable on foot from the city center in around twenty minutes. After opening in 1824, both male and female prisoners were housed here. With life-size wax figures, sound effects and an informative exhibition, visitors are given a deep insight into the conditions at that time and the life of the prisoners. For a small fee, hire an audio guide or or book a tour in advance - your Tourlane Travel Expert will help with this.More...
