I was born, grew up, and lived in Dublin most of my life. Used to go out in the city at night fairly frequently to gigs, clubs, parties, etc. and I always felt safe, even if I was on my own waiting for friends or walking between venues, etc. I often would go home alone from the city after nights out on public transport or in taxis (often intoxicated to some degree) or sometimes walking depending on where I was living. Never had anything bad happen personally. OK, there is a risk of pickpockets, catcalling, etc. like any city but I've never had any issues or thought of Dublin as less safe than any other city if you're sensible just like anywhere else. There are some dodgy suburbs where I wouldn't necessarily want to walk around at night but there's no reason you'd be there as a tourist probably.
Posted: September 12, 2023Dublin was my first international solo trip. I stayed in the Temple Bar area around Christmastime and walked everywhere by myself. I was always aware of my surroundings of course but I never once felt unsafe. Not even a little drunk at 2 a.m. There were always groups of tourists around and I always felt comfortable. The pubs at Christmastime are absolutely beautiful. I did a bus tour for the day up to Belfast and Northern Ireland to the Giant’s Causeway and Titanic Museum. The Belfast Christmas Market was going on which was amazing.
Posted: September 11, 2023Dublin is very fun, and the Irish people are very friendly. There is great nightlife, it’s a pretty city and felt safe. There are also great day trips to other parts of Ireland.
Posted: July 31, 2023I felt totally safe, using the same type of safety I would normally use at home. The one thing I would say about Dublin is that the pub culture is a big part of the attraction in Ireland, so as solo female travelers, we need to be conscious of drinking responsibly and within our limits.
Posted: July 29, 2023I did Dublin in April. I definitely recommend taking warm clothes as it rained the whole time I was there. Did the city bus tour that was so good. Went to Trinity College and do the Dublin Castle. They were both lovely. And the Guinness factory tour was such a good experience. I went for 4 days and found I had done everything by day 3 though.
Posted: July 26, 2023I went to Dublin solo, it was great and there was plenty to do. I did a day bus tour to do giants causeway and the cliffs of Moher. I met some girls on it and went to a pub that night with them which was lots of fun and otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have gone to a pub alone and it’s a must in Ireland.
Posted: July 25, 2023My first solo trip was in Dublin. Totally recommend it, I felt safe day and night. Irish people were super friendly, open, and helpful, anywhere I went I was welcomed and found friends there. The bus system was pretty good and easy to use.
Posted: May 6, 2023It was my first solo trip, and I absolutely loved it. It is very safe and the people are really helpful. I stayed in a hostel, where I practically just went to sleep and it was a good experience. I went on tours outside Dublin: Glendalough, Galway, and the Cliffs of Moher. It was my favorite part of the trip.
Posted: April 15, 2023Did Dublin as my first little solo trip for a couple of nights and loved it. I had so much fun just wandering around on my own. I even walked around when it was very dark and later at night to get back to my hostel, and I was fine.
Posted: April 15, 2023I went to Dublin solo in March. Dublin is a fun yet expensive city. I stayed at the Barnacles Hostel which is on Temple Bar. I took a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway and loved them.
