Galway, Solo travel
Galway, though a small city, is a place where I felt safe walking alone at night. Of course I didn’t stray into any dark alleys, but it seems as though people look out for each other. Downtown is well-lit too

I was in fublin last year with a friend. Ist was an amazing experience. Everyone ive met was kind and welcoming. I also got my first tattoo there. There is still lots of stuff to do and see because a week is not enough for everything

I went with my high-school. We spent time in the four main cities (most time spent in Dublin). It was for an agricultural trip, but we got to see a bunch of cool things unrelated. It was ky first time abroad and definitely recommend to those who are scared to solo travel. I will 100% be going back for a solo trip.

I’ve been living in Dingle for over12 years,and not once have I felt unsafe here.I’ve walked around both day and night without any issues. It’s a small town, and people really look out for each other.

Generally safe during the day but try to avoid city center during late evenings and night. Not safe at all, pick pockets, alcoholic and bunch of random abusers high on god knows what. Areas arounf UCD and other residential areas are generally safe even during nights. Key is to be aware and take care of your self. Happy travelling ❣️

I really liked it, it was very nice, I hope you'll feel well, because I liked it but sometimes it is a bit scary, especially at night when people are a bit more drunk, but it is around the bars so it is actually okay
