We are 6 girls from Venice and looking for very cheap hostel or lodge in Cork to spend 4-5 weeks possibly not far away from Cork City Centre. Also need help on things to do in and around Cork city... Any help will be most appreciated.

Staying in Cork City?, no worries, there many cosy, family-friendly and decent hostels suitable for youth, student or group available. Most of the women choose Sheila's Cork hostel as it has excellent facilities including free internet, free luggage storage and cheap accommodation. This hostel is located only few minutes walk from train, bus, pubs, shops and restaurants,so I recommend this Cork hostel for your group of 6. They have beds from €12, so just find this hostel in 3 Belgrave Place, Wellington Road. If you need further more details then call them on +353 (0)21 4505562 and get some more information. Explore the popular tourist destination of Ireland and enjoy yourself!

hi lu, the most attractive place I like during my Cork tour was St Finbar's Cathedral, it's interior boasts many interesting architectural details and pieces of art. The St. Anne's in Shandon is also a famous one and known more for its bells. Near to the this church is the Cork Butter Museum which looks at the history of butter in Cork and the importance of Cork in the growth of Ireland's butter trade. Cork City Gaol has become a top attraction for visitors and I like too. There are many attractions exist in addition to what I have described, so spend hours, walk around and explore all. best wishes.

Interesting. Are there any popular activities in Cork that a family of three (with a seven-year-old daughter) can do?

There is a Zoo/Park type place not too far from the city called FotoPark, its a great place to bring your kids.
