Is Dublin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel experience

I visited Dublin with my family during summer last July. I feel quite safe in Dublin. But in my opinion there were many homeless people in the streets and also many garbage bags. I would like to recommend visiting Howth which is nearby Dublin by train. I also visited the EPIC museum about Irish Emigration, this museum was very interesting and also interactive.

Solo travel experience

I enjoyed my time as a solo traveler in Dublin! There is definitely plenty to do around the city, and 2 days was not enough for it all. I felt relatively safe alone in the city- I stayed on Abbey St and explored the Temple Bar & surrounding areas alone at night and never felt threatened. There was occasionally begging but that was about the only time I was approached.

Solo travel experience

It was very safe and a great place to be despite the rain. It was decently priced and a humble city to be in with lots to see even outside of Dublin. Getting around in public transit is great. Food was ok. You can visit cathedrals, temple bar, castles, Guinness brewery, Worth a visit

Couple travel experience

I traveled with my boyfriend so I believe that I felt safer than if I was alone, but we didn’t felt afraid at night or with the locals of course you have to be careful with the scams even if I didn’t see much of it. There are a lot of junkies and people that sleeps in the streets. Temple bar is a most. You have like 3 or 4 free museums in the center of the city. Wax museum is cool to and the penny’s bridge is beautiful at night. I stayed 3 nights (400€) you can save money in meals, almost every market have “the meal deals” it’s a meal for 4,5€ and the wax museum was 16€ for students. the only public transport that i used was to go to the airport and to the hotel it was like 25€ I stayed in Baresford hotel, has a good location

Solo travel experience

I have some friends living in Dublin so i went for the summer vacations. Since I'm brazilian I've found a lot of places where i could eat and listen to music from my country, but i didn't miss the chance to enjoy local culture. There are a lot of museums and interesting places to visit. It's a lovely country, even if the weather is a little too cold and rainy for me 😅 I did a lot of touristing by myself, wich I love and it forces me to meet new people and exchange experiences. I wandered around enjoying the views and felt safe and at peace. The night life is also good, a lot of pubs and clubs to choose from. It was my second time around and I'm definitely going back 🥰

Solo travel experience

i felt very safe wether it was day or nicht. i really liked the armosphere and the people, i want to go again this summer. The food was also great. I hope to visit anytime soon. It was a great stay i would recommend

Family travel experience

Avoid the temple bar and other tourist area’s as they will overcharge and it’s swarmed with pickpockets As of 2023 I would avoid Ireland as a foreigner due to the recent riots and xenophobia causing many people to feel unsafe

Solo travel experience

I went on my first solo trip in November and chose Ireland. * stayed in Dublin (Jacob’s Inn hostel, 100% recommend) * did a bus tour to Cliffs of Moher and Galway, takes a day. I went with Wild Rovers tour and enjoyed it so much, very informational and plenty of time for site seeing (solo or group) and just a fun day. A fellow female traveller I met did the sheep dog tour, they offer several different routes! * took the train (dart) to Heath from Dublin for a day. Try Octopussy fish & chips! * I felt safe the entire time there which of course was my biggest concern, people were very friendly * I used public transport which is very convenient in Dublin & cheap. Took the bus from the airport to city centre for €2.60 * I didn’t have an itinerary besides the bus tour as I booked very last minute but there was so many things to do, spent 5 days there. The hostel is a great place to meet others to hang with * DO A PUB CRAWL, but prepare for the worst hangover of your life Ireland, I will be back! Next time I plan to visit more of the countryside it’s breathtaking🫶🏽

Solo travel experience

Dublin was my first independent international trip. I stayed in the Temple Bar area during the holiday season and went everywhere alone. Of course, I was always aware of my surroundings, but I never felt unsafe. Even a bit drunk at 2 in the morning. There were always groups of tourists around and I always felt comfortable. The pubs during the holiday season are simply beautiful. I went on a full-day bus trip to Belfast and Northern Ireland, to the Giant's Causeway and the Titanic Museum. There was a Christmas Market in Belfast, which was incredible.

Solo travel experience

Dublin is very fun and the Irish people are very friendly. The nightlife here is great, the city is beautiful and one feels safe. There are also fantastic day trips to other parts of Ireland.

It is safe in general but be careful with the teenagers and dont try to involve or make people stop fighting, if you see any fights around ! Also the elder people are so weird in general just stay away from them

Dublin is very safe. Especially the city center where there are lots of people. There are certain areas to avoid and don't go places where it is lonely. Take a cab or bus where possible. Reach out for more specific questions

I recommend booking tours in advance (Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College, etc) as they can get pretty full. Walking around is also a great way of visiting the city and getting an idea of what the vibe is like.

Solo travel experience

Dublin was my first solo travel experience, it was a bucket list trip, and it didn’t disappoint. Some of my favorite things I did inside of Dublin were the Guinness storehouse tour, taking a cocktail making class at Jameson, visiting the botanical gardens, and visiting St. Stephen’s green. I took two days while I was there. The first was the cliffs of moher and Galway city, which was very enjoyable. The second was a tour that included a stop at a working farm and a visit to Glendalough and a drive through the mountains, also very enjoyable.
