Along a coastline dotted with inlets and small fishing villages lies an ancient Irish city: Cork.Authentic and rebellious, traditional and alternative, the city is one of those cities with hidden charms, and in this post by Viaggi in Europa we will see what to see in Cork. Declared World Capital of Culture in 2005 and 2010, what strikes you most about Cork is the mystery and magic that you breathe as you stroll along the squares of the neighbourhoods, among picturesque old villages, antique shops and charming art galleries, cafés and typical restaurants where you can taste the delicacies linked to the Irish gastronomic tradition. Cork is also today considered an important and remarkable seaport, the third largest city in Ireland, by population, after Belfast and Dublin.
The English course will be held at the prestigious University College, founded in 1845 and located on the south coast of Cork. The school is spread over 44 acres and features a combination of ancient and modern facilities, with spacious and bright classrooms, an excellent sports complex on campus with tennis courts, a climbing wall, indoor and outdoor running tracks, indoor and outdoor football and hockey pitches. The language centre won the Star Junior Programme Award in 2018, 2019 and 2020 as the best English language summer camp in Europe.

In summer in this Irish city, on the other hand, temperatures are quite cool but not excessively hot and muggy, so much so that they rarely exceed 25 degrees. Always bring an umbrella because the weather even in summer is very variable and while it is sunny it suddenly rains.
