Limerick

Limerick is the third-most populous city in Ireland. It is a safe and very economical university city.

Shannon Airport is the nearest airport, only 28 km from Limerick.

The architecture of Limerick is very well aligned with Georgian houses.

The River Shannon (the longest river in Ireland) flows into the Atlantic Sea, forming an estuary when the river's freshwater meets the sea salt, which occurs right in Limerick.

There is a great variety of wild flora and fauna in the estuary of River Shannon.
