Explore Cork vs The Travellers App

Welcome to ‘Explore Cork’, a mobile app designed by Cork County Council to help visitors navigate their way around the many things to see and do in Cork. Nestled in the South West of Ireland between Ireland’s Ancient East and the Wild Atlantic Way, Cork is Ireland’s largest county. Known as ‘Ireland’s Maritime Haven’, Cork has over 1,000km of coastline and the world’s second largest natural harbour. It has many internationally renowned visitor attractions such as Mizen Head Footbridge, Spike Island, The Jameson Experience, Fota Wildlife Park, the legendary Blarney Castle and Doneraile Court & Park to name but a few. There are 8 islands in West Cork, 7 of which are inhabited and each with their own unique culture and history. With Cork regarded as ‘Food Capital of Ireland’, there is no shortage of food offerings, ranging from budget friendly to Michelin Star, all of which you can explore on the app. Whether you are a local uncovering a hidden gem for the first time, or a visitor looking to immerse yourself in all that Cork has to offer, this app will help you along your way.

The Travellers App is for people on the road and people planning to be. Find company for your plans, share a cab with travellers heading the same way, ask someone who has been there, and keep the places you have visited in one profile. FIND YOUR COMPANY • Post a plan for a set day, or a tentative trip while your dates are still open. • Browse plans from other travellers and ask to join. • Hosts accept or decline requests, then confirm the trip. • Every plan has its own chat, with polls to decide things together. • On a place's page, see who else is heading there, and say "I'm heading here". • My plans keeps the plans you posted and the ones you have joined. SHARE A CAB • Search for rides between two places and request a seat. • Share a cab of your own: set the route, time, seats and price per seat. • Accept riders, edit the ride, and see what changed after an edit. • Link a ride to a plan so everyone going can get there together. • Mark the ride complete and rate the people you travelled with. • Share a cab of your own: set the route, time, seats and price per seat, in any currency. ASK THE COMMUNITY • Browse travel questions, and filter them by topic or by place. • Ask your own, and answer other people's. • Reply to answers and mark the helpful ones. • Drafts stay on your phone until you post them.
