Living in the city
Dublin is a vibrant European city, with plenty to see and do. There are a wide range of activities to suit all mind sets, from active walks up to Bray Head or Howth Head, through to visiting historic locations such as Dublin Castle, Kilmainham Gaol and Christchurch Cathedral. Of course there’s also the ever- popular nightlife, from live music through to clubbing. In addition to the historic sites, Dublin is now home to some of the largest multinational headquarters in Europe – including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Hubspot, AirBnb, LinkedIn and Twitter.
The Smurfit School campus is located a 20 minute rail ride away in a beautiful seaside suburb called Blackrock. The campus is a 10 minute walk from the sea front. The Dublin City Centre and the beautiful neighbouring County Wicklow (the so called ‘Garden of Ireland’) are easily accessible from Blackrock. It’s the ideal campus for taking in both the urban and suburban lifestyles in Dublin.
