Solo travel

Dingle was lovely! The Dingle peninsula on a sunny day is one of the most beautiful places ever. People are so friendly, and the trad music in the bars is incredible. I felt very safe, the food was great, and it wasn’t as expensive as other parts of Ireland.

Is Dingle safe for women?

Dingle is a very safe small town, I don’t fear walking in the dark/ in the night at all. The night life is good and mostly safe, I have heard of a few bad experiences but overall people feel safe. There are no spots to avoid as it is a small town and all the streets are safe.
