Limerick combines historic sites with a lively, modern atmosphere.

With its beautiful riverside views and a mix of old and new buildings, the city has become a popular spot for both visitors and locals. Today, Limerick is a vibrant place, known for its rich past, bustling city life, and welcoming spirit.

My family was perfect! The house, the food, the family. I enjoyed my 3 weeks so much. I learned a lot and made so many friends. I did lots of debates in lessons and they were so fun! I will be recommending Apollo to my friends.

I will never forget my teachers from this trip, thanks to them I like English even more. My host family really helped to improve my English when we talked every evening. The dinners were tasty too (lovely potatoes). I’m going to miss all you guys.
