Dublin is a very beautiful city. The people are friendly. There are many things to do like sightseeing and hiking. The only thing which made me feel unsafe was constant cat calling, especially under bridge by the river. But overall, the food was good and there were always vegan and vegetarian alternatives.
Posted: July 1, 2026I've stayed in Dublin for 2 weeks with a Study-Travel and it was wonderful. I saw loads of beautiful things and places and learnt about Irish culture more than I expected. We didn't just visit Dublin, but also Howth and Galway. The people were so friendly and kind and open-minded and I felt safe everywhere I went. Everyday I wish I could go back and relive the experience from the start.

I've been living in Dublin for about five months and I haven't had many problems in terms of safety and I say that as someone who enjoys the nightlife and attending raves. I haven't had anything stolen from me (yet!), but my housemate did get his bike stolen recently so it definitely is a risk. I would suggest to avoid walking around the city centre late at night because of all the shady characters and people using substances. Also avoid walking through impoverished residential areas at night....
Posted: July 3, 2026It's very safe. I'm a solo traveler and have not experienced anything negative. Although there are homeless people, they tend to mind their own business:) I have not been walking around at night-time though, so I cannot speak on that.

Dublin is 99% safe, however the city center areas are key spots for pickpockets and drunks.Nothing serious will happen to you in Dublin, just be aware of where you are. The southern area is safer than the north
Posted: April 30, 2026Generally safe during the day but try to avoid city center during late evenings and night. Not safe at all, pick pockets, alcoholic and bunch of random abusers high on god knows what. Areas arounf UCD and other residential areas are generally safe even during nights. Key is to be aware and take care of your self. Happy travelling ❣️
