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!
Posted: August 29, 2025Experienced: June, 2025I stayed a little over a month in irland and dublin was one of the places i often revisited during that time (I stayed in a village near dublin). Overall I can say that I really like that city. It’s quite small and compact but for a solo travel it has good activities and really cute shops around. I would totally revisit some day.

I stayed 2 days only, it was enough to visit the center and visit The Little Museum of Dublin (with a great guide) 🇮🇪 I walked by day and night and did'nt live any trouble. I recommand ver much this city and I can't wait to go back 👌

Dublin was... good. I had a fun time, especially with a group of friends—it’s definitely one of those places where the people you’re with make the trip. That said, it didn’t feel like there was a ton to do. We hit the usual spots, wandered a lot, and honestly spent a fair bit of time just trying to figure out what was worth seeing. My favorite part by far was the Book of Kells experience—super atmospheric, actually lived up to the hype, and made my little history-nerd heart happy. If you're into books, vibes, or just pretending you're in a fantasy novel, it’s worth it. Would I go back? Probably not.

It's definitely not the safest place, especially the big cities and at night. People can get very weird. (especially men). Solo women and women who may look foreign can get targeted more. I recommend not going alone.
