Which Irish cities are worth more than a single day?
Four earn it clearly. Dublin needs two or three days at least once the bay towns, Phoenix Park and the gaol and galleries are counted honestly. Galway takes a second day easily: one for the city itself, one held for weather, music or a late start after a session night. Cork rewards a second day because the city is really a base: the English Market and the Lee one day, Cobh or Kinsale the next. Belfast is the fourth: Titanic Belfast alone can take half a day, and the Antrim coast sits on its doorstep. Kilkenny and Waterford are the strong one day and one night cities behind them.
