Opera Lane is an excellent place to take your credit card for a stroll while visiting Cork. It is also the newest retailing complex. There are about a dozen fashion stores clustered around a plaza shared with the Opera House and located on St. Patrick Street. How Irish is that? If your feet and billfold need more exercise, explore Merchants Quay nearby. Shopaholics might also want to visit the Mahon Point and Wilton shopping malls outside of the city center.
