Coliving Spaces in Dublin

Ireland’s capital has long been Europe’s English-speaking hub. Dublin is a popular, albeit expensive, destination for digital nomads, but there are some affordable short-term and long-term coliving options available. While it might not be the famous cold and rainy weather that attracts visitors, 120 MB Internet is commonly available in most homes, cafés and, of course, in the many coworking spaces too. It’s easy to get around Dublin by public transport, or better yet, get a ‘Dublin Bike’ to get around in this extremely bicycle-friendly city. This welcoming city has a lot to offer both in terms of high culture and drinking culture. Samuel Beckett, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker all studied at Trinity College Dublin and you can also trace James Joyce’s steps through this UNESCO City of Literature. Then there is the incredible scenery of the bay and the Wicklow mountains and enjoy many nature breaks just a few hours away from the city center.
