relocating to Dublin City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Pros_of_Moving_to_Dublin_City\">5 Pros of Moving to Dublin City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Culture\">#1 Culture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowhere else in Ireland will you find such an eclectic mix of cultures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dublin attracts people to come to live here from not only all over Ireland but from every corner of the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is this wonderful mix of people that gives Dublin a vibe and energy that cannot be equaled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Nature\">#2 Nature<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is Dublin a very green city with many local parks but the stunning Irish scenery and coastline are within easy reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you can have the best of both worlds, city life and the ability to escape to the tranquility of the superb countryside of Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Education\">#3 Education<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ireland is renowned for having very good schools, and Dublin certainly has its fair share of excellent schools as well as four world-class Universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_History\">#4 History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Everywhere you go in Dublin there is history to discover and some amazing museums to teach you all about your new city in years gone by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Getting_around_is_easy\">#5 Getting around is easy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dublin is a fairly compact city, so getting around on foot is easy, and it means all the great things to see and do are never far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Cons_of_Moving_to_Dublin_City\">5 Cons of Moving to Dublin City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Housing_is_expensive\">#1 Housing is expensive<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> There is a high demand for, and shortage of, housing in Dublin, and the prices reflect this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Public_transport\">#2 Public transport<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dublin is renowned for not having the most reliable public transport in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there is a tram service from the suburbs and a coastal train, buses are less than reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may also come as a surprise if you have lived in a city before that buses stop around 11.30 at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Closing_time\">#3 Closing time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are expecting a city that stays open 24\/7 you are in for a shock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most bars close around 12.30, and late-night shopping has not come to Dublin yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city centre is where to head if you are a night owl, but out of the city centre you will find closing time comes early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_Congestion\">#4 Congestion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On match days particularly you will find the traffic horrendous in Dublin and even on a normal day, finding a parking space can be a challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily Dublin is quite a small city so walking is always the easy option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_There_is_no_number_\">#5 There is no number 5<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Dublin has its problems, every city in the world does, but speak to any of Dublin\u2019s
