I felt fairly safe in Dublin especially with a groupe but I wouldn't recommend going too far north. Otherwise there are cops around town who are there to help. The city is very expensive especially accommodation wise. The food is fine, maybe not very local but it's good

I felt safe but there are a lot of homeless people. Exept that its a Nice city, not really beautiful but there are a lot to do and people are welcoming. The best thing in Ireland was the landscape, for réal its beautiful !
Posted: April 7, 2025Amazing experience ! One of my first Couchsurfing and it was incredible ! We had the chance to be here for the gay parade and it was really wonderful experience ! We had chance to discover different part of the city and enjoy the real Ireland vibe ! From Dublin you can take train 20 min to small village in the cost it’s really amazing I recommend ! We had feeling safe all the trip but was little surprise how it’s work here with nightlife, lot of people drunked , bar and club close early and all the bus and taxi was reserved so if I can suggest to don’t wait for the last minute to go home ;)

I loved this experience ! It was the first time for me to go really solo somewhere. I travelled before with school but I always knew someone (teacher ou students). Here I was solo. I took my time, slept in hostel. Everything was perfect. I did everything that I wanted. Very nice
Posted: February 24, 2025Amazing holiday, overpriced but still loads of fun activities to get upto, like the Guiness tour. The pubs are amazing but overpriced. I would avoid going to the typical touristy pubs in the winter months as they are packed!!
Posted: November 11, 2024Experienced: November, 2021My experience in Dublin was verry positive. The city is a great place for solo travelers and the people are verry friendly. I can really recomend going hiking along the coast, if you can. The night live in Dublin is great but I do not recomend going alone (I went with someone else)
Posted: September 6, 2024Really good experience in Dublin to learn English: - Not really safe - Cool people - Really friendly - Beautiful landscape and good food - But expensive, including the hostel - Not really good accessibility; I had to take a car to travel freely

My first solo travel ever was a prolonged weekend in Dublin. I've always been lazy in vacation, preferring to stay in the hotel - this trip changed me. I had a fullpacked itinerary that forced me to go outside and meet people. I had the confidence to make friends with tourguides and other tourists alike. The Irish just have that special something ♥️ I felt pretty safe, but probably not as much as back home in Switzerland - but that's hard to achieve
Posted: July 14, 2024I felt really safe while in Dublin, I'm not sure but I guess my boyfriend travelling with me made some difference. I found it really easy to get to the places I planned to visit, the public transportation system was nice, clean and efficient. Only once I saw a bus driver ignore the people on the bus stop, which made me feel like a latina again (jk) I was able to eat good and cheap food at the non-european restaurants, specially indian, brazilian, colombian and iraqi restaurants. Always look for the restaurants inside the underground galleries. Vegan options were also quite easy to find, the issue is the closing time. I wasn't really the best at planning the hiking activities and we would arrive back in Dublin late enough for the restaurants to be closed or closing, so keep that in mind.
Posted: July 10, 2024Experienced: September, 2022I felt very safe during my semester abroad in Dublin, as the city is well-patrolled and the locals are friendly. I stayed in a student dormitory, which was convenient and comfortable. I recommend visiting the Pub Old Town Road for its beautiful live music, as well as the Café Coffee and Beans for a great coffee experience.

It’s pretty safe here unless you go to the north of the city where there are some shady spots. I’d say after dark the city centre on the weekend can go wild but usually no serious crime happens in Dublin 2. Dublin 1 - probably not the best area to be after dark.
Posted: May 10, 2025There are usually a lot of drunk people out on the streets at night, but they’re not aggressive. There are a lot of homeless people in the city center, but they’re calm and don’t bother anyone.

Heey:) My name is Valentina, I'm 25 and I'm from Chile. Currently I'm in Dublin working for a year, so I'd love to meet other people and hang out if you're up to it! I also plan to travel around europe hopefully some time during this year hehe. I'm an English teacher, language and literature nerd, love music and dancing (although terribly). Love coffee, tea and sweet treats, and if it's walking around a nice place, much better:) A little introverted but easygoing, idk what else people say here haha

Hi, I'm an arts student currently taking a gap year. I love arts, crafts and thrifting. I really like my city so I'm happy to spend a little time showing people around. I'm pretty broke most of the time lol. I'm often described by others as creative, nice, kind, funny and smart. I'm a Christian and very allergic to peanuts
