爱尔兰人一直珍视艺术和他们自己的音乐名人贡献者, 文学, 和电影. You don’t have to take a trip to continental Europe to see great art. 花一整天的时间在都柏林的爱尔兰国家美术馆里浏览艺术收藏, 大约15,000件作品展出, 或者在都柏林的街道上寻找发人深省、值得画廊收藏的壁画, 软木塞, 高威, 和利默里克. 对于一个小国来说, 爱尔兰 is brimming with independent bookstores, from the old and cozy to the modern and minimalist. 都柏林, named an UNESCO world heritage site for 文学, can keep you busy with the James Joyce Museum, 文学酒吧之旅, and a Writer’s Museum dedicated to an array of literary memorabilia. The country that birthed Bram Stoker, author of Dracula; Oscar Wilde, the infamous 19th century novelist, 诗人, and playwright; world-famous playwright Samuel Beckett; and the great 诗人s William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney unashamedly loves a good story and will give you plenty of your own to tell. 欧洲很少有国家像爱尔兰那样热爱音乐,爱尔兰人是一个真正的音乐民族. 无论你是在都柏林、戈尔韦、科克还是其他地方,现场音乐和酒吧都是密不可分的. 各种类型的音乐家和表演者都在街头卖艺,在大大小小的场所表演. With a long list of internationally successful bands and solo performers, 包括都柏林人, 的首领, 范·莫里森, 薄丽萃, 恩雅, 可儿家族的, 辛妮奥康纳, 克兰娜德, 小红莓乐队, 的波格, U2, 雪巡逻, 和达米安·赖斯, 爱尔兰’s an inspiring destination for future professional music performers.
