The Irish people have always prized the arts and their own big name contributors to music, literature, and film. You don’t have to take a trip to continental Europe to see great art. Spend a whole day browsing the art collections at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin, where some 15,000 works are displayed, or hunt for the thought-provoking and gallery-worthy murals in the streets of Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. For a small country, Ireland is brimming with independent bookstores, from the old and cozy to the modern and minimalist. Dublin, named an UNESCO world heritage site for literature, can keep you busy with the James Joyce Museum, a literary pub crawl, 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, poet, and playwright; world-famous playwright Samuel Beckett; and the great poets William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney unashamedly loves a good story and will give you plenty of your own to tell. Few countries in Europe love music the way Ireland does, and the Irish are a truly musical people. Live music and pubs go hand in hand, whether you’re in Dublin, Galway, Cork, or elsewhere. Musicians and performers of every genre can be found busking in the streets and playing at venues big and small. With a long list of internationally successful bands and solo performers, including The Dubliners, The Chieftains, Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, Enya, The Corrs, Sinead O’Connor, Clannad, The Cranberries, The Pogues, U2, Snow Patrol, and Damien Rice, Ireland’s an inspiring destination for future professional music performers.

Spending time in Ireland means having access to authentic Irish cuisine, which you’re sure to enjoy. Order a tasty sandwich on Waterford’s blaa bread for lunch and treat yourself to a hearty lamb or beef stew for dinner.  If you’re a seafood fan, don’t miss the opportunity to sample freshly caught Galway oysters in the seaside city. Try colcannon--mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage or kale—as a nod to the Irish people’s favorite vegetable, the potato. For a more contemporary taste of Ireland, order a “spice bag,” the perfect take-out dish featuring French fries, bell peppers, fried onions, and battered chicken tossed in a paper bag. If you have a sweet tooth, Irish desserts won’t disappoint: Porter cake, Guinness chocolate mousse, apple tart, and Carageen Moss pudding are solid options. In Ireland, there’s never a wrong time for tea, and if you’re in a café, pair your cup with sweet scones or barm brack and butter. When you study abroad in Ireland, you’ll find it easy to thrive in an English-speaking culture where friendliness and social warmth are the norm. Attend class at respected institutions like Dublin City University, the International School of Business, and the National University of Ireland. Develop the skills you need to land a great first job after graduation with an internship in Dublin. Listen to and learn Irish Gaelic in the world’s only place where it’s widely spoken.
