Is Ireland safe for solo female travelers?

Ireland is generally very safe for solo female travelers. The locals are hospitable and welcoming. Low crime rates and high police visibility reinforce the sense of security. However, normal precautions, like avoiding solitary walks late at night in secluded areas and making sure you stay in endorsed accommodation, should be applied as in any travel situations.

I went with my high-school. We spent time in the four main cities (most time spent in Dublin). It was for an agricultural trip, but we got to see a bunch of cool things unrelated. It was ky first time abroad and definitely recommend to those who are scared to solo travel. I will 100% be going back for a solo trip.

Dublin

Generally 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 ❣️

Dublin

I really liked it, it was very nice, I hope you'll feel well, because I liked it but sometimes it is a bit scary, especially at night when people are a bit more drunk, but it is around the bars so it is actually okay

Dublin

Generally safe with no major crime issues. As in any big centre be mindful of your belongings as there could be petty crime like phone theft. There can be some issues with drug users in certain areas but they are generally not too bothersome
