There's a lot to love about the Irish. After all, a worldwide reputation has to come from somewhere: their sense of humour, their inimitable wit and genuine warmth of character. But you'll find there's even more to adore when you join the Irish on their home turf for your Ireland vacation! For starters, they love any excuse to get together, be it donning the green for the look of a leprechaun during St Patrick's Day festivities; or celebrating the talents of musicians around the country, from Kerry, Cork, Shannon and Mayo, up to Northern Ireland's capital Belfast, and down to Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland.
An Irish Vacation
Traditional Irish music is celebrated with passion and energy, with the largest of all performances taking place at the All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, where an incredible 250,000 people from all over the world meet to listen to the beat of the Bodhrán and enjoy the quicksteps of a ceilÍ (Irish dance). Meanwhile, travel Ireland a little further north and you'll find a striking, but no less enjoyable, difference in melodies and dance thanks to the Ulster-Scots' Lambeg drum, fiddle, fife and flute!
Irish Arts and cultural heritage
The Irish also have a real zeal for the arts, and the cultural scene flourishes throughout the year, from cozy Christmas festivals to the summertime buzz of the Galway and Kilkenny Arts Festivals. But what makes these events so special is the atmosphere only the Irish can bring to the party. Be it literature, arts or simply a celebration of local traditions, an Irish festival always boasts something for children of all ages – from 7 months to 70+, everyone can enjoy the experience.
Irish travel
Away from the parties, the pub still holds a special place in Ireland's social life. It's a place where people gather to right the world's wrongs and, more importantly, have some craic (fun)! With most pubs offering delicious home-cooked food, including children's menus, they're a welcome retreat for families during daylight hours, too! But if you don't fancy pub food, then the range of restaurants and cafes to choose from is something special. With the emphasis on locally sourced produce, you're guaranteed excellent quality dining wherever you go.
Don't delay a minute longer, indulge your sense of adventure and just go where Ireland takes you.
