Cork is relatively safe, the odd bollocks once in a while but most of the time it's sound. Maybe a bit better if you're in a group, especially at night. A bit of common sense and don't provoke the large groups who are doing to show off for their pals, and you'll be grand.
Posted: September 18, 2024It 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.

About Me
Heyyy I am a big foodie! I have been working in Ireland for 5 years, recently started traveling around Europe. I like to do solo-trips but I also like to connect with locals so I can better understand the city and their life styles and stories :) I am very adventurous, I like to try new experiences and explore new hobbies. I like scuba diving, it brings me a new whole world of under water. I also like boxing as a new hobby this year, it makes me feel alive and stronger ! I am tidy and respectful, hope to build connections over the world and make good friendship ! 🙌
