As someone living in Dublin, I’d say it’s generally a safe city. You do get some petty crime, especially around busy central spots, but violent crime isn’t common. Just stay aware like you would anywhere.
Posted: June 18, 2025Irish men do not wolf whistle or harass you. Women can wear skirts and dresses and feel ok. You can walk around with your phone, obviously there are certain rougher areas, like inner city where you have to be more wary. But overall it's fine.
Posted: June 17, 2025Dublin is mostly safe so long as you avoid the antisocial crowds and shady alley ways where other individuals troubled with drugs gather. Public transport is not the best and can be bit crowded at times but overall safe enough to use at all times of the day.

I have been living 3 and a half years here and for me it is a pretty save city. I haven’t had any kind of problems till now and I always feel save even walking during night. Public transportation is not the best regarding punctuality but if you are staying close to the city center it is really easy to walk around.

I have to say I only go to the city once in a while (I live in a tiny town), but overall it is a dirty city where the suburbs look a bit dangerous. Also people drink a lot there (it is their pub culture), and it is also common to get high, so you can find people saying random things on the street
Posted: May 16, 2025Dublin is mostly safe, especially in well-lit central areas. Like any city, stay alert at night, avoid wierdos or isolated areas. Locals are friendly and very helpful. Petty crimes may occur like pickpockettung in crowded central areas but violent crime is rare. I have been coming home alone from city centre at 3 am, later, and earlier. Just stay watchful and use common sense.

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 !
