Parking in Cork is actually fairly easy, even when you are not so confident in your driving abilities yet. If you enter the city coming from Dublin, you will be following the N8 towards the city center. By doing so, you will inevitably end up on the St. Patricks Quay street. Said street follows the river Lee and on your right hand side, you will find several car parks.
We parked at a car park called Park It Here (37 St Patrick’s Quay, Victorian Quarter, Cork, T23 NN28, Irland) on Google Maps. You actually only enter the car park and then leave your car and keys with the staff from the parking. They will park your car once there is a spot available and afterwards you get your keys back after paying the parking fees at the stand in the middle of the parking lot. We paid 7,50€ for around 3 hours. Just be aware that some of the car parks already close at 19 o’clock.
Great article, thanks for sharing! Cork and Cobb both look beautiful!
