Is Dublin Safe for Women?

Safe I don’t know But there are a lot of homeless and drug addicts all over the city. They don't do anything, they don't move, but they're always there. Some neighborhoods suck more than others, especially in the north.

My locality is quite safe and I have never experienced anything problematic, although some friends in dublin tell me they have been in situations where they felt unsafe so as a woman I just stay cautious at all times.

I stayed in three different hostels in dublin and I felt safe in all of them. I often stayed out alone way till after dark and never experienced an uncomfortable or dangerous situation till now. The people in irland are nearly always very welcoming and friendly or at least the people i got to meet. It was said to me that the north side of dublin is a dangerous area but I also stayed in a hostel there and spend some time on that side and didn’t notice a difference. Overall I would say dublin is a very friendly city.

It's safe :) compared to other European cities. Just be aware of kids/teenagers called Nakers, they sometimes like making trouble. I live in Dublin City center and feel safe walking on my own at night.

While Ireland is generally a safe cou they for everyone to visit, Dublin is definitely the least safe area. I'm living in Dublin seven years and I was mugged once, lightly assaulted twice (all on my bike) and once had two guys try to pickpocket me. While I would walk home at night alone, sometimes I feel the need to change route or direction if I see people ahead that make me feel unsafe. Overall, safe to visit but be cautious.

Solo travel

I did a solo travelling trip to Dublin in July! Stayed at Clink i Lar hostel which was very lovely with its central location, common spaces, private curtains beds. The hostel was very commercialised though and didn’t feel as warm and friendly as other places I’ve stayed. I did a walking tour, went to the National Leprechaun Museum, did James Joyce Ulysses walking tours and more! It is definitely a lovely location to solo travel too and at the right hostel you can meet people and go to pubs - I definitely recommend Dublin!
