I was in Dublin for two weeks because if the Erasmus projekt in my school. I lived in a host family near Dublin, about 30 minutes by train from the city centre. I realy enjoyed it and felt save even when i was on my way home at 12am
Posted: December 7, 2025Experienced: May, 2025I 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!
Posted: August 29, 2025Experienced: June, 2025I 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.

Dublin was... good. I had a fun time, especially with a group of friends—it’s definitely one of those places where the people you’re with make the trip. That said, it didn’t feel like there was a ton to do. We hit the usual spots, wandered a lot, and honestly spent a fair bit of time just trying to figure out what was worth seeing. My favorite part by far was the Book of Kells experience—super atmospheric, actually lived up to the hype, and made my little history-nerd heart happy. If you're into books, vibes, or just pretending you're in a fantasy novel, it’s worth it. Would I go back?...

I really liked it, it was very nice, I hope you'll feel well, because I liked it but sometimes it is a bit scary, especially at night when people are a bit more drunk, but it is around the bars so it is actually okay
Posted: January 24, 2026Generally safe with no major crime issues. As in any big centre be mindful of your belongings as there could be petty crime like phone theft. There can be some issues with drug users in certain areas but they are generally not too bothersome
Posted: January 20, 2026Personally, I haven't experienced anything bad, but you hear a lot from friends and on the news. Keep to public places, but it's generally safe for tourists. Be weary of men, cover your drink, be careful alone... There were rough moments where I had to stay in when there was anger towards foreigners a couple years ago.
Posted: January 3, 2026Usual quite safe although some neighbourhoods may be the opposite. I have never had any problem, people is usually very nice and happy to help out in any kind of situation. City centre is OK to be around as well as many other areas nearby
Posted: January 2, 2026Generally safe, with some cases of racially motivated violence. Teens can be a nuisance at times towards people of colour. Theft is not very common as compared to some other tourist areas in Europe. People are kind.
