Dublin is justifiably a cultural capital - it offers a great variety of cultural attractions. There's bound to be something here to interest you.

What Ireland lacks in classical arts it makes up for in nineteenth and twentieth century literature and theatre, with some of the world's most prominent playwrights, authors and poets, and in a rich cultural heritage of music and song. Early Christian civilisation is strongly represented with treasures such as the Book of Kells. More recently, it has come to the fore in modern art, graphic design, photography, music and cinema.

Most of Dublin's museums and galleries are centrally located, are FREE to the public, and have the extra advantage of being compact and focussed, being easily manageable in a single visit.

And don't forget to take in some Guinness and traditional pub music for a blast of everyday culture.
