Field notes
Among the most expensive on this list — Dublin's housing crisis is real. Stoneybatter, Phibsborough, and Portobello are the inner-city nomad anchors. EU passport is required for long stays; non-EU options are limited.
Mild in every direction. Summers peak around 17°C with regular rain; winters around 5°C with rare snow. Sunny weeks are notable when they happen — pack rain gear year-round.
