Great place to visit to do many things. You can look at history exhibits of Cobh. There is the Queenstown Story which has a fee. There are local vendors selling various products. There is a small cafeteria style restaurant where you can sample Irish favorites (fairly reasonable) and of course gift shops if you are looking for something to take home.

The Cobh Heritage centre is well worth a visit. The staff are very helpful, cheerful and interested in helping visitors. The exhibition itself is extremely well presented in the way it depicts the maritime history and recounts the stories of Lusitania, Titanic and Irish emigrants.

This heritage centre is located in former railway buildings on the quayside at Cobh. It is literally a 2 minute walk from the station or from a visiting cruise ship as was our case. You can enter the premises without payment where there are a couple of shops and a small cafe. There is an admission charge for the heritage centre. The story if that of Irish emigration and the rural life of Ireland and how it was affected by the potato famine. Well worth a visit - learnt a lot did not realise how many irish people emigrated to England, USA, Canada and Colonies. History of ships and travel in later galleries.
