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.

I did a solo travelling trip to Dublin in July! Stayed at Clink i Lar hostel which was very lovely with its central location, common spaces, private curtains beds. The hostel was very commercialised though and didn’t feel as warm and friendly as other places I’ve stayed. I did a walking tour, went to the National Leprechaun Museum, did James Joyce Ulysses walking tours and more! It is definitely a lovely location to solo travel too and at the right hostel you can meet people and go to pubs - I definitely recommend Dublin!

I stayed a little over a month in irland and dublin was one of the places i often revisited during that time (I stayed in a village near dublin). Overall I can say that I really like that city. It’s quite small and compact but for a solo travel it has good activities and really cute shops around. I would totally revisit some day.

A quiet place, usually safe, nothing to report (usual in European countries). I’d the pleasure to explore all the country, and i felt very safe around it as a woman. I recommend visiting crowded places just in case.

Dublin is a European city, safer than others, but with many drug addicts and young kids committing minor crimes and picking on people. I would avoid certain zones, especially at night, like around the main train stations and Tallaght. The South areas (Rathmines, Ranelagh) are generally safer.

Not much . A bit racist recently, but not a very difficult personal experience yet. Friendly people unless they are junkies which are some in the main city after midnight. However a much safer city than dublin

I would prefer to be out during the day than during the night. Unfortunately people in the city are becoming more racist because of social/political opinions. I would recommend speaking English where possible to avoid racial abuse in public as people have been targeted when speaking a different language.

I find Dublin city to be very safe as I was raised in the city There are some areas where there are higher crime rates that I wouldn’t walk alone, due to possible anti social behaviour but I’m very aware of these areas
