One pretty seaside town often goes under the radar when it comes to holiday destinations, despite its scenic postcard-perfect looks. Home to quaint streets, a friendly atmosphere and scenic coastal views, this town is not known as a major tourist destination – but those who do visit can’t get enough.

Those who have visited are often singing the town’s praises, and those who have not been instantly add it to their list. Cobh is a historic part of Ireland that’s more than worth a trip. The town is mostly known as the last port of call for the RMS Titanic before it sank in 1912. The town has several Titanic-related attractions, including the Titanic Experience, which educates visitors about the tragedy.

Solo Sophie says: “It’s likely that you’ve already seen photos of Cobh, after all, it’s one of the most postcard-worthy spots in Ireland. But this town is not just pretty, it’s also steeped in history.”

On TikTok, one person has shared some insight into the fairytale spot. Posting to an account under the name of @letravelstyle, the person writes: “Cobh (pronounced Cove) is hands down one of the prettiest towns I have ever visited.

“Located 35 minutes away from Cork is this charming seaside escape that needs to be experienced by everyone visiting Ireland.”

The travel-fanatic says the best things to do when visiting are to visit the famous “deck of cards” viewpoint, walk around downtown, visit the Titanic Museum and to walk through the Cobh Heritage Center.

You can also take a boat tour of Spike Island which is the Ireland equivalent of Alcatraz.

In the comments, one person wrote: “I work in Cobh and it’s indeed a very pretty city.”

Another penned: “Immediately on my Ireland travel bucket list.”

To get to Cobh, you will need to fly to Cork which takes around one hour 15 minutes from Manchester. Then, you can drive to Cobh which takes around 35 minutes.

The exciting town hosts various cultural events and festivals throughout the year, celebrating its rich history and community spirit, making it a vibrant place to visit. You should make sure to take a look at what’s on when you plan to visit.
