I accidentally visited Ireland during St. Patrick's festival and it was truly the best. To have a good view on the parade you have to secure your spot in advance but it's definitely worth the wait. I went for nature but this festival turned out to be the highlight of my trip. The weather was nice for most of the time, which was surprising, but be prepared for cold, wind and rain.

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 been living in Dublin for about five months and I haven't had many problems in terms of safety and I say that as someone who enjoys the nightlife and attending raves. I haven't had anything stolen from me (yet!), but my housemate did get his bike stolen recently so it definitely is a risk. I would suggest to avoid walking around the city centre late at night because of all the shady characters and people using substances. Also avoid walking through impoverished residential areas at night....

I really like my city. Small, beautiful and peaceful city🍀(in the city centre). My city is really nice and safe❤️. In my city there are a lot of beautiful architecture🏛️. It is small city in Ireland🇮🇪.

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!
