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.

I had such a great time in Dublin! The touristy Ireland shops were charming, the food places were fantastic (staff and food), and the unique sights were great. Dublin Castle is a must-see, but the solo audio-tour is English only (sorry for non-English speakers!).

The centre of dublin is quite expensive but there are so many scenic spots to see and also for hiking. One of the best place to go for hiking in dublin is wicklow mountains. If you are lucky the sun hits...

It's very safe. I'm a solo traveler and have not experienced anything negative. Although there are homeless people, they tend to mind their own business:) I have not been walking around at night-time though, so I cannot speak on that.

Ireland is a really friendly and helpful country but unfortunately there is also an increase in the amount of beggars around and these can sometimes make the environment feel unsafe. Best tip is to always be aware of your surroundings and avoid travelling alone too late at night!

Dublin is 99% safe, however the city center areas are key spots for pickpockets and drunks.Nothing serious will happen to you in Dublin, just be aware of where you are. The southern area is safer than the north

About me
Hey, I’m Pauline! I’ve been living on the Dublin side for 7 years now, with my little adventure buddy, Livaï (3 years old), who always tags along on my journeys. Before settling here, I traveled quite a lot, lived in England and France, and visited most countries in Europe. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and connecting over my passions — music, writing, animals, and nature. Horse riding and anything that brings me closer to the earth are my favorite escapes. Life with a little one keeps me busy, but whenever we can, we love to get away from the city (or even from Ireland) to explore new places and meet friends. I live in a cozy apartment and would be happy to share my sofa for a night or two with fellow travelers. ✨ Come meet us — we’re always up for new connections and adventures!
