MORE INFO
Dublin is expensive, social, international, and professionally relevant. It offers strong tech and startup ecosystems, major employers, pubs, literature, live music, universities, and excellent flight connections. For remote workers, it is one of Europe’s easiest English-speaking bases, but housing is the defining challenge. Small apartments, high rents, and competition can dominate the experience. Dublin works best for people who benefit from its networks and energy rather than those seeking low-cost slow living.
