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

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 -...

Generally safe during the day but try to avoid city center during late evenings and night. Not safe at all, pick pockets, alcoholic and bunch of random abusers high on god knows what. Areas arounf UCD and other residential areas are generally safe even during nights. Key is to be aware and take care of your self. Happy travelling ❣️
Posted: February 11, 2026I 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

About me
Hey, I’m Pauline! I’ve been living on the Dublin side for 7 years now, with my little adventure buddy, Livaï (3 years old), who always tags along on my journeys. Before settling here, I traveled quite a lot, lived in England and France, and visited most countries in Europe. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and connecting over my passions — music, writing, animals, and nature. Horse riding and anything that brings me closer to the earth are my favorite escapes. Life with a little one keeps me busy, but whenever we can, we love to get away from the city (or even from Ireland) to explore new places and meet friends. I live in a cozy apartment and would be happy to share my sofa for a night or two with fellow travelers. ✨ Come meet us — we’re always up for new connections and adventures!
