Dublin City Centre is home to The Phoenix Park – the largest enclosed park in Western Europe. It has many items of interest, from the American Ambassador's residence to the zoo. It takes some effort to get around the park because it is about 7 miles in circumference.

Cork City is Ireland's third city (after Dublin and Belfast) and has always been an important seaport. It began on an island in the swampy estuary of the River Lee (the name Corcaigh means a marsh), and gradually climbed up the steep banks on either side. Today the river flows through Cork city in two main channels, so you may find yourself constantly crossing bridges.
