What do people like (and dislike) about Dublin?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Dublin, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Dublin, for its rich history, vibrant culture, and friendly locals. They appreciate the city's walkability, efficient public transportation system, and the abundance of pubs, restaurants, and entertainment options. The thriving tech scene and job opportunities, particularly in the IT sector, also attract many expats and digital nomads. However, there are some aspects of living in Dublin that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The high cost of living, especially the expensive housing and rental market, can be a significant challenge for many. The unpredictable weather, with frequent rain and relatively cool temperatures, may also be a downside for those who prefer a warmer climate. Additionally, some expats and digital nomads may find the bureaucracy and paperwork involved in obtaining visas and work permits to be cumbersome and time-consuming," remarked another expat in Dublin, Ireland.
"The weather in the east of Ireland, middle/south, is better than most people think. It's nice to live close to the sea. Taxes deducted from your salary are relatively low compared to, e.g., Germany. Dislike: the people (of course there are always exceptions), the prices, lack of housing and lack of rights for renters, feels rather provincial once you are outside of Dublin, health care system, there's not Amazon Ireland and with Brexit now we have to pay import taxes, shipping parcels to other countries is ridiculously expensive, more traditional gender division than in other northern countries," said a member in Dublin, Ireland.
