I was in Dublin for two weeks because if the Erasmus projekt in my school. I lived in a host family near Dublin, about 30 minutes by train from the city centre. I realy enjoyed it and felt save even when i was on my way home at 12am

I want to an Ireland trip in car with a friend and this was amazing! 🤩 Each day we met different people so nice ! The places were wonderful and the atmosphere was really great ! I don’t remember the budget but we were student so we haven’t spend to much money. I felt safe in every city. I recommend this country 100% 💯! 🇮🇪

Go see the monastery, definitely go to The cheese shop in Dingle it was amazing. Explore some of the beaches around Dingle they're really pretty. I absolutely loved my time in Dingle especially because I went during the Dingle food festival. If you can go during the Dingle food festival definitely do that.

Killaloe
Been staying here on & off across 2 years. The most “dangerous” it gets is Aldi on a school day at lunch time when the children swarm the store for snacks. Sometimes the little old ladies at the bus stop are overly friendly but I think they are just curious about me and bored waiting on the bus.

Galway is a very safe city. People are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed, so it’s easy to feel comfortable here. Even at night, the streets are generally calm and secure, which makes Galway a great place to stay.

It can have good days and bad but from growing up here I have noticed how unsafe it is to go put at certain hours or certain places. For example I would not go near myross past 8pm or 6pm when it is dark earlier.
