It is generally safer than Dublin. But recent years got a bit uneasy but overall i have no problems. The public transport has more female drivers. It is generally a small city and not so much things to do. City gets quiet after 10 pm. Not so many night life as well.

in general it is a very safe city, just be mindful of a few guys walking around the city centre who might be under the influence. the public transport, while unreliable is also quite safe, but there might be some rubbish or loud music around
Posted: June 4, 2024Being in Cork feels safe and comfortable! However I am conscious of the rise of the far-right and related violence. At night, people are often consuming a lot of alcohol or other substances, which makes me try to stay away from men if I am alone.
