Kinsale is one of Ireland's most beautiful towns, famous for its brightly-colored buildings, numerous shops, including art galleries and antique stores, with many excellent restaurants, often called the "Gourmet Capital of Ireland". It's slightly out of the way, about 17 miles south of the bigger city of Cork, and yet it has become one of the most popular visitor destinations in the country, primarily because of its beautiful setting with the waterfront harbor and the lovely arrangement of its narrow, winding streets that are just perfectly ideal for walking.

Here we have an authentic and cozy village feeling with these many blocks for discovering on foot, lined with an excellent variety of shops that are usually smaller and independent family operated boutiques. You don't see those high-end luxury fashion and designer shops like Louis Vuitton and Chanel here. Instead, it's much more of an authentic local shopping experience, with typically Irish workers who are friendly and happy to chat with you.
You'll find it is the perfect town to walk around in. Kinsale is such an ideal town for walking, and that's partly because of its small size, just about 400 meters from one end to the other, with a lovely concentration of shops and restaurants in that central part of the village. There are many variations of these paint jobs and colors of the stores along the streets, turning the urban landscape into an outdoor art gallery, delightful to look at as you stroll along. Throughout the program will be taking you on walks along those main streets of town, showing you the beautiful shopfronts and restaurants along the way.
I live in Florida and I have been staying in Kinsale for my fourth time and I’m here for five weeks. It’s absolutely everything this video says it is and I will be back again next year.
you are a very smart traveler!
You really need to get out more. Hahaha

Hi there, my family and I (we are also from Florida) are going on a British isles Disney cruise next week, and we are stopping in Cork. I would love to go to Kinsale. Can you help me with advice on transportation from the cruise port and things to do. I’ve looked at bus transportation. Thank you.

Its not that good haha. Boring after a few hours . Nothing to do. Yawn......
You lack imagination 😉
That's your opinion
Once I hear Ayerrland I go mad!!😮💚🤍🧡
By the way most of the smaller towns in Ireland are similiar to Kinsale and all the cities are in the process if being pedestrianised. Unfortunately Kinsale, though lovely is far too touristy and expensive. A very misinformed view. As I say Ayyirrland.
We visited Kinsale in October for 3 nights. The weather was great, no crowds, lower prices, and few tourists. It was lovely.
