| City Life | With a population of little more than 200 thousand inhabitants, Cork is the second most important city in Ireland. It is located in the Munster province, south of Emerald Island. Cork is not a huge city and you can get almost everywhere on foot. It is just the perfect blend of a metropolis and small town, due to its calm and warm ambiance. The first thing that catches one’s eye is its peculiar and attractive architecture. But there is so much more to discover when living in Cork. Its calm and quaint atmosphere adds up to the list of charms attracting hundreds of foreign students and tourists. It is also very close to many Irish touristy attractions. For example, Blarney Castle or the charming town of Cobh. It is also close to the largest coastal route: Wild Atlantic Way. When compared to Dublin, it is so much cheaper to rent and buy all you need in Cork. This also makes it a favorite for students looking for a good time as they study and work abroad. | If you want to have a truly Irish, cosmopolitan experience, Dublin is the best place to be. The city centre is just four kilometres from the UCD campus and conveniently connected by public transport. It's a great city to explore on foot or on bicycles. You can enjoy a morning coffee in the peaceful surroundings of St Stephen's Green on the 'south side' and check out the amazing MoLi museum. The nearby shopping district of Grafton Street, the quirky Drury Street and the stately Powerscourt Shopping Centre are all within easy walking distance. Across Dame Street, you will find yourself stepping on the cobblestones outside the world famous Temple Bar. A few steps away is the River Liffey, and a short walk across one of the many pedestrian bridges will bring you to the 'north side'. Here you'll find the famous Spire, the historic GPO and James Joyce sculpture, the Dublin Writers Museum and Hugh Lane gallery. If you're spending a weekend in Dublin, don't miss out on the Guinness Storehouse and Kilmainham Jail - and of course our infamous Dublin pubs. There are a huge range of cosy, friendly pubs where you can listen to live music, watch live comedy acts and really get to know the friendly Irish people! |
