These tours operate from May to September every year.

The tour lasts a minimum of seventy minutes and the beauty of it is that you can get off and on as often as you wish. It covers areas such as Cork City Gaol, University College, and Blarney, as well as all the interesting spots in the city centre.

The stained glass windows below, tell the story of Christ's life. Hours change seasonally, so make sure to call ahead.

Past seamlessly merges with the present at the Blackrock Castle Observatory. Nestled on the banks of River Lee, the observatory is an erstwhile fortification, and this fact alone is a great attestation to its magnificent, castle-like visage. The building itself, a castle no less, dates back to the 16th Century, but what is inside is up-to-date with engineering mechanisms and technological innovations in the country. Upholding a deep sense of scientific research and the indelible motive of unearthing the secrets of the cosmos, the observatory stages an array of exhibitions, workshops and collaborations for students and teachers to better understand the intricacies of the Universe. Here is where astronomical artifacts and numerous exhibits about science jostle with hands-on activities and an interactive virtual astronaut for the visitor's attention. Topped by turrets and cloaked in a sturdy stone facade, this observatory is a glorious synergy of history and the sciences.

This famous religious landmark stands on the hilly slopes of the city, north of the River Lee. Built in 1722, the church has a facade made of limestone on two sides and of red sandstone on the other two. The steeple is topped by a weather vane in the shape of a salmon. The clock face is known locally as the "four-faced liar" because, until 1986 when it was repaired, each face showed a slightly different time. Visitors can climb the tower and for a small fee, ring the famous Bells of Shandon. Services take place at 10am on Sundays.
