How safe is Ireland for solo female travelers?

A week of hiking in Kerry: magnificent weather, breathtaking scenery, and wonderful encounters along the way. It’s very safe for hitchhiking; in the countryside, I even ended up staying one night with people I’d met earlier that day—a lovely, very welcoming couple.

I study in UCD with English Path. It was really good. I really improve my English. I see a lot of good people. The weather was good. We went to the beach and spent a really good time. Ireland is my favourite country.

Stayed in Dublin solo for 3 days before going on a roadtrip with my bestie. It was absolutely awesome and I got to meet up with some girls from this app. Dublin, and Ireland in general are so gorgeous and worth the trip.

I can’t wait to go back and see more of Ireland! I was in Dublin, and while it was very busy, I felt very safe and it was so fun. Tons of public transport, very walkable and lots of restaurants and museums!

I went to Dublin on several occasions. Twice solo. It is a very busy, in my opinion beautiful, city with a unique charm and lots of female-only events being hosted. Unfortunately, I did not feel very safe during my travels for several reasons, however, the people of Dublin are the most genuine angels I ever met. After taking contact with local women and female-only social media groups, I received all the support a person in danger could need. Strongly advice to find someone to lean on in...

Dublin is a very beautiful city. The people are friendly. There are many things to do like sightseeing and hiking. The only thing which made me feel unsafe was constant cat calling, especially under bridge by the river. But overall, the food was good and there were always vegan and vegetarian alternatives.

Dublin is a really nice, small capital city. You can easily walk through the whole center or take the bus to the further attractions. The Guiness brewery - I would highly recommend (they also have 0% beer).

I've stayed in Dublin for 2 weeks with a Study-Travel and it was wonderful. I saw loads of beautiful things and places and learnt about Irish culture more than I expected. We didn't just visit Dublin, but also Howth and Galway. The people were so friendly and kind and open-minded and I felt safe everywhere I went. Everyday I wish I could go back and relive the experience from the start.

Youghal
overall a safe town but very quiet at night with little people outside. During the day its very safe Its mostly a family area with no bars open past 12am. People are friendly and unproblematic. The board walk should be carful of as theres no lights there

I stayed in Doolin alone for a couple of nights. Never felt unsafe, it was wonderful! People there are so nice! I felt welcomed and not in danger at all. If you are looking for a quaint Irish town to visit with access to beautiful places I would definately recommend it here!

Its safe overall, never had any issues, but as everywhere precautions should be taken at weekends at nights. Crime is low,but sometimes teenager gangs hanging around and do whatever they want as until 18 yoa, they are untraceable

It's pretty safe except for some areas late at night, including Talbot Street, O'Connell Street, Pearse Street, and some parts of the north inner city; beware of pickpockets in these areas plus teenagers antisocial behaviour.

Kilkenny is a small but very historic and lively city in Ireland. It is very safe and little to no crime. I would say that the locals are kind and friendly and would not pose any danger to solo travellers. Travellers should exercise caution as they would travelling anywhere for their own safety

Like any other city !! But with better people of course , people are nice and caring but you can get the odd few , quiet a lot of drug use and crimes so just to be wary, homelessness is at all time high
