Well, you must talk with a lot of people from there, because if you wants know the real history of the city and the beatifull places, they are going to show you and give you good information to travel in a good way and safe. The people from there are in the most of the cases a kind people. There are a lot of magic places and small towns really beatifull.
Avoid going in some hours to some places of the city, there are some problems about some people in some areas.

Personal comments
The residence facilities to live in the campus are good, but the problem is that is too far from the live of the city, and in an Erasmus year, I am looking to meet a lot of people, and live the real life of the city and meet the people from there.

Personal comments
You don´t have to ever forget to visit is the giant causeway, the cliffs of moher, but there are at least a lot of places that you can find going to that places, that are amazing for the senses. There are a lot of Irish pubs, for me the best is Laverys, is a typical Irish pub, where you can play pool, listen good music, and meet a lot of interesting people.
