Safety at night:Safe
Oughterard generally boasts a quiet, peaceful environment. Being a small rural village on the banks of the river, it has a low crime rate, and people are friendly. However, some areas might be very quiet and deserted at night, with very little to no street lighting. Therefore, while it's relatively safe, it's recommended to stay vigilant, avoid isolated areas during late hours, and ideally not walk alone at night if avoidable.
