Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- CharlieV2011Chicago, IL1,611 contributionsI absolutely loved my experience here! Climbing to the top of the church and viewing the city on a nice sunny day was so much fun. The staircase is very narrow so it may take some time waiting for others coming from the opposite direction as no more than one person can get through at a time. The inside of the church was nice and very peaceful! I’m glad I made my way to this church!Written 18 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TigerTina301New Orleans, LA1,588 contributionsCame here on my honeymoon to light a candle for my grandpa. Happy it was open and empty. It's a big, beautiful church with a lot of ornate work on the inside. It felt very peaceful and I was able to say some prayers. There is St. Anthony's Store right across the street if you want to get religious gifts/items.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kerry LadyCounty Kerry, Ireland3 contributionsI visited St Augustine's Church this morning and stayed for the 11am service as I had time on my hands. It is indeed a long while since I attended mass. However, I really enjoyed the experience. The Service was delivered by a lovely priest who told the story of St Monica and her son St. Augustine. I never had heard this story before this.
The Service was peaceful and welcoming and when I am in Cork again, I will certainly attend another service there. I believe, tomorrow is the feast day of St. Augustine. I wish I was in Cork to attend.Written 27 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is an oasis of calm throughout the day, where one can escape the madness of the modern world to sit and contemplate / mediate / pray. It is cool, quiet and dim, the perfect atmosphere for contemplation.
It unsurprisingly as an active catholic church, has a number of religious icons including the spectacular under alter sculpture of the "The Dead Christ" being one of three by the Cork John Hogan. All may be admired at your leisure no matter your religious persuasion, culture, creed or orientation. Two side alters provide adoration for Mary Aikenhead and the Venerable Nano Nagel, two very important historical women local to this congregation.
The congregation goes out of its way to welcome all visitors and hosts an after mass tea on the first weekend of every month (after 6 mass on Saturday evening and 11 mass on Sunday morning) where all are invited from the alter to partake , no matter your religious beliefs or whether a regular attendee or a visitor.
