The Republic of Ireland occupies most of the island of Ireland, one of the most westerly parts of Europe. It is dubbed the “Emerald Isle” for its lush landscape. According to global research, Ireland remains among the friendliest and most welcoming countries in the world for visitors. Dublin is the capital city. Situated between mountains and the sea, Dublin provides an abundance of activities, from cliff walks and mountain climbs to films, free museums and exhibitions, citywide events, festivals, and concerts. It is hardly surprising that Ireland and in particular, Dublin is a popular ‘study abroad’ location.
