Is Dublin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Amazing experience ! One of my first Couchsurfing and it was incredible ! We had the chance to be here for the gay parade and it was really wonderful experience ! We had chance to discover different part of the city and enjoy the real Ireland vibe ! From Dublin you can take train 20 min to small village in the cost it’s really amazing I recommend ! We had feeling safe all the trip but was little surprise how it’s work here with nightlife, lot of people drunked , bar and club close early and all the bus and taxi was reserved so if I can suggest to don’t wait for the last minute to go home ;)

Solo travel

I loved this experience ! It was the first time for me to go really solo somewhere. I travelled before with school but I always knew someone (teacher ou students). Here I was solo. I took my time, slept in hostel. Everything was perfect. I did everything that I wanted. Very nice

I enjoyed Dublin, and Ireland in general. Did 2 bus tours, one to Kilkenny and the Wicklow Mountains and another to Galway. I absolutely loved the free walking tour in Dublin centre. Aside from that I wouldn't bother with anything other than a walk through of the Temple bar area. It's super pricey and there are much nicer and less expensive pubs and bars around. I also did tour of the Guinness brewery, was hoping for more history around the Guinness family and everything they did for Dublin, but was still a really interesting experience. I was also super lucky with weather. As far as getting around, I stayed outside of the centre (40min bus ride) and was happy with that. The buses weren't always on time but overall were clean and convenient to use.

Amazing holiday, overpriced but still loads of fun activities to get upto, like the Guiness tour. The pubs are amazing but overpriced. I would avoid going to the typical touristy pubs in the winter months as they are packed!!

My experience in Dublin was verry positive. The city is a great place for solo travelers and the people are verry friendly. I can really recomend going hiking along the coast, if you can. The night live in Dublin is great but I do not recomend going alone (I went with someone else)

Really good experience in Dublin to learn English: - Not really safe - Cool people - Really friendly - Beautiful landscape and good food - But expensive, including the hostel - Not really good accessibility; I had to take a car to travel freely

Solo travel

My first solo travel ever was a prolonged weekend in Dublin. I've always been lazy in vacation, preferring to stay in the hotel - this trip changed me. I had a fullpacked itinerary that forced me to go outside and meet people. I had the confidence to make friends with tourguides and other tourists alike. The Irish just have that special something ♥️ I felt pretty safe, but probably not as much as back home in Switzerland - but that's hard to achieve

Couple travel

I felt really safe while in Dublin, I'm not sure but I guess my boyfriend travelling with me made some difference. I found it really easy to get to the places I planned to visit, the public transportation system was nice, clean and efficient. Only once I saw a bus driver ignore the people on the bus stop, which made me feel like a latina again (jk) I was able to eat good and cheap food at the non-european restaurants, specially indian, brazilian, colombian and iraqi restaurants. Always look for the restaurants inside the underground galleries. Vegan options were also quite easy to find, the issue is the closing time. I wasn't really the best at planning the hiking activities and we would arrive back in Dublin late enough for the restaurants to be closed or closing, so keep that in mind.

Solo travel

I felt very safe during my semester abroad in Dublin, as the city is well-patrolled and the locals are friendly. I stayed in a student dormitory, which was convenient and comfortable. I recommend visiting the Pub Old Town Road for its beautiful live music, as well as the Café Coffee and Beans for a great coffee experience.

Dublin is a very beautiful and safe city to visit. Everyone is so friendly there. A must do is definitely a pub tour since there are so many good bars with live music. I mostly cooked by myself because it is very expensive in Ireland. The housing costs (apartment, hotel, even hostels) were higher than expected, but if it is just for a small period of time, it’s fine. The weather was really good in august and september which is not that usual.

In general you won’t have a problem in Dublin if you keep to yourself and just practice general cautious habits like don’t keep your phone in your back pocket or loose cash notes in your jacket pocket. During the day it’s fine in the streets just keep to yourself. Most catcalling never escalates

Just walk in groups, don't wear heels in town wear boots or flats so you can run faster. Don't smile at strangers in the dark or be friendly by saying hello. Just keep moving don't wait at a bus stop
