Living in Dublin, what’s it like? Hi everyone, let’s get together for a little family blog about Ireland! Curious about what it’s like to live in Dublin? We’ll give you all the important things you need to know before you set off on your adventure!
The cost of living in Dublin
Dublin is one of the most famous cities for beer; in this city, a pint of beer costs 5.50 euros, which is cheaper than in France (in Paris it costs 7 euros). Also food in supermarkets is cheaper: drinks, fruit and vegetables (for example, 1 head of salad in Dublin costs 0.89 euros against 1.45 euros in Paris), meat (much cheaper than in France) and dairy products. On the other hand, public transport is very expensive: the price of a single ticket is 3 euros (1.90 euros in Paris) and the monthly pass costs 130 euros (75 euros in Paris)!

Also in the field of sports and leisure the prices are a bit higher than in France, but the differences aren’t big
You should therefore be careful with prices, because if in some areas you can save money, in others the prices are high.
Living in Dublin during your internship
Dublin: Whatever your preferences, there is always something to do here. If you like to hang out in pubs and enjoy the nightlife, Dublin is the city for you. When it comes to cultural, artistic and musical activities, you won’t be bored in Dublin either. Every month there are exhibitions, festivals, concerts, markets… there is something for everyone.
If you like nature and outdoor activities, you will be pleased to know that Ireland has many natural and unspoilt landscapes; but beware of the weather! Ireland is famous for rain and clouds
In Ireland it is less difficult for a foreigner to integrate than in other countries. The Irish are the most like us of the Nordic peoples and there is not the language barrier that divides us, as there is with other Northern European languages
The people are not arrogant and they don’t have that ill-concealed sense of superiority like, say, the British or the Germans. The Irish are open, friendly and generally well disposed towards foreigners.
