Tips for driving in Cork
Cork is an old city with many narrow two-way streets, like Barrack Street. There may be times when you need to wait for opportunities to pass oncoming traffic on these narrow streets.
Street signs can be few and far between, so including a GPS with your hire car may be worthwhile.
Parking in the street often requires a parking disc to be purchased (look for signs in shop windows). Alternatively you can park in one of the many multi-story car parks that can be found along the river from City Hall in the east to St Finbar's in the west.
The centre of town is situated between two rivers, where the river Lee splits in two. These rivers help you with your bearings, and mean you won't be short on river views as you criss-cross the river.
Cork is popular tourist destination, as well as being home to around half a million inhabitants. Streets like Patrick's Street can be very busy so look out for pedestrians and take care.
