Season
All year, daily from 10:00
Who it's for
All ages; from about 7 years old they enjoy it

Cobh, when it was called Queenstown, was the Titanic's last port of call, and this building on Casement Square, the White Star Line office, is the place its last passengers set off from. The visit is guided: you go through the story with accounts from passengers and witnesses, and you are given a boarding card with the name of a real passenger.

It is a short visit. It costs €13 (family, €34) and opens every day from 10:00; the website gives two different sets of opening times, so if you are going late in the day, check first. Book online in summer.
