    Titanic visitor answer

    The simple answer

    Go if you want the Titanic story tied to a real Cobh location rather than a generic museum stop. Skip or shorten it only if you have very limited time and would rather spend your whole visit outside on the harbour, cathedral views and food. For most visitors, the best plan is to make it the main indoor stop, then use the waterfront to give the story some place and scale.
