Is Dublin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I felt fairly safe in Dublin especially with a groupe but I wouldn't recommend going too far north. Otherwise there are cops around town who are there to help. The city is very expensive especially accommodation wise. The food is fine, maybe not very local but it's good

Solo travel

I felt safe but there are a lot of homeless people. Exept that its a Nice city, not really beautiful but there are a lot to do and people are welcoming. The best thing in Ireland was the landscape, for réal its beautiful !

Solo travel

Amazing experience ! One of my first Couchsurfing and it was incredible ! We had the chance to be here for the gay parade and it was really wonderful experience ! We had chance to discover different part of the city and enjoy the real Ireland vibe ! From Dublin you can take train 20 min to small village in the cost it’s really amazing I recommend ! We had feeling safe all the trip but was little surprise how it’s work here with nightlife, lot of people drunked , bar and club close early and all the bus and taxi was reserved so if I can suggest to don’t wait for the last minute to go home ;)

Solo travel

I loved this experience ! It was the first time for me to go really solo somewhere. I travelled before with school but I always knew someone (teacher ou students). Here I was solo. I took my time, slept in hostel. Everything was perfect. I did everything that I wanted. Very nice

Solo travel

Amazing holiday, overpriced but still loads of fun activities to get upto, like the Guiness tour. The pubs are amazing but overpriced. I would avoid going to the typical touristy pubs in the winter months as they are packed!!

Solo travel

My experience in Dublin was verry positive. The city is a great place for solo travelers and the people are verry friendly. I can really recomend going hiking along the coast, if you can. The night live in Dublin is great but I do not recomend going alone (I went with someone else)

Solo travel

Really good experience in Dublin to learn English: - Not really safe - Cool people - Really friendly - Beautiful landscape and good food - But expensive, including the hostel - Not really good accessibility; I had to take a car to travel freely

Solo travel

My first solo travel ever was a prolonged weekend in Dublin. I've always been lazy in vacation, preferring to stay in the hotel - this trip changed me. I had a fullpacked itinerary that forced me to go outside and meet people. I had the confidence to make friends with tourguides and other tourists alike. The Irish just have that special something ♥️ I felt pretty safe, but probably not as much as back home in Switzerland - but that's hard to achieve

Couple travel

I felt really safe while in Dublin, I'm not sure but I guess my boyfriend travelling with me made some difference. I found it really easy to get to the places I planned to visit, the public transportation system was nice, clean and efficient. Only once I saw a bus driver ignore the people on the bus stop, which made me feel like a latina again (jk) I was able to eat good and cheap food at the non-european restaurants, specially indian, brazilian, colombian and iraqi restaurants. Always look for the restaurants inside the underground galleries. Vegan options were also quite easy to find, the issue is the closing time. I wasn't really the best at planning the hiking activities and we would arrive back in Dublin late enough for the restaurants to be closed or closing, so keep that in mind.

Solo travel

I felt very safe during my semester abroad in Dublin, as the city is well-patrolled and the locals are friendly. I stayed in a student dormitory, which was convenient and comfortable. I recommend visiting the Pub Old Town Road for its beautiful live music, as well as the Café Coffee and Beans for a great coffee experience.

Depends of the areas but the centre specifically it’s a bit dangerous and it does not really matter the hour. There’re a lot of people from different backgrounds and it can be tricky sometimes. Walking in the centre can be dangerous and there’s risks of being attacked or robbed. Dublin is a very touristic city so there’re pickpockets as well.

Dublin is generally a safe city, especially in the city centre and tourist areas like Grafton Street and Trinity College. Public transport is reliable, and locals are friendly. At night, some areas like Temple Bar and O’Connell Street can get rowdy, and spots north of the Liffey are best avoided after dark. Overall, I felt safe and found the city easy to navigate with basic precautions.
