Is Ireland Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

How safe is Ireland for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

Dublin, Solo travel

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.

Ireland, Solo travel

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).

Dublin, Group travel

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.

Dublin

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

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

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
