Why Live in Dublin’s Craic

Beauty, culture, great craic and plenty to do! Dublin’s a great place to visit on vacation but what are the real pros and cons of living in Ireland’s capital?

Dublin is a beautiful, cultural city full of characters. There’s always craic to be had, and you’re never more than a stone’s throw away from nature. There are endless things to see, do and eat. But, of course, everything comes with a price, and no city is perfect. You’ll surely have your frustrations; you’ll often find yourself waiting and wondering if your bus will ever come, or if your landlord might raise your rent on a whim. Here’s a list of five pros and five cons about living in Ireland’s capital.

Dublin City is Ireland’s cultural capital. With the influx of international company headquarters, as well as an attractive quality of life, families and expats from all corners are settling here, and in most cases they’ll find they’re very welcome.

I guarantee that in Dublin, you can’t walk two blocks without encountering at least three different languages or foreign accents. In the last year I’ve befriended people from Brazil, Russia, Norway, Israel and Spain, and have been able to trade stories and recipes from places I’ve never been to but would love to visit.

With the mix of nationalities comes a hugely varied restaurant cuisine, from Akanchawa’s Honey Pot serving up authentic Nigerian food in Phibsborough, to DaDa’s Moroccan on South William Street; from fancy French bistros to casual Sushi takeout. In supermarkets, you’ll find entire aisles for Polish food, and at the Dun Laoghaire Market you can pick up all of the imported Portuguese goods your heart desires.

Dublin has, of course, also become home to people from all over Ireland, so it’s the perfect place to experience and grow accustomed to the wide variety of Irish accents, from the sing-songy West Cork accent to the distinctive lilt of the Belfast accent.
