Solo travel experience
My first solo trip was in Dublin. Totally recommend it, I felt safe day and night. Irish people were super friendly, open, and helpful, anywhere I went I was welcomed and found friends there. The bus system was pretty good and easy to use.

It was my first solo trip, and I absolutely loved it. It is very safe and the people are really helpful. I stayed in a hostel, where I practically just went to sleep and it was a good experience. I went on tours outside Dublin: Glendalough, Galway, and the Cliffs of Moher. It was my favorite part of the trip.

Did Dublin as my first little solo trip for a couple of nights and loved it. I had so much fun just wandering around on my own. I even walked around when it was very dark and later at night to get back to my hostel, and I was fine.

I went to Dublin solo in March. Dublin is a fun yet expensive city. I stayed at the Barnacles Hostel which is on Temple Bar. I took a bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway and loved them.

Dublin is very friendly. I enjoyed Malahide much more than I enjoyed Dublin though. I never felt uncomfortable or had an issue. I used trains because cabs were expensive.

I went to Dublin and stayed for two days. I found the Irish to be such welcoming and friendly people, so it was not a problem being there alone. Dublin is also where I had my best free walking tour ever. The guide was amazing and super funny.

Dublin was my first solo trip. I went last year on Thanksgiving weekend. I highly recommend going at that time. Every pub is decorated so beautifully. I stayed at The Morgan Hotel in the Temple Bar area and I loved it. I felt safe the entire time. My favorite pub was the Brazen Head Pub which is not in the temple bar area but I liked staying close by that area for most everything else. Everything was within walking distance that I did. Trinity College, Dublin Castle, etc.

I recently went to Dublin and stayed in an Airbnb. It was in a great location, right next to the H‘Penny Bridge. In terms of things to do, we went to see the Book of Kells (Trinity Library), Temple Bar, Christ Church and St. Patrick‘s Cathedral, the Castle, the jail, and the Guinness Factory. We also did a day trip to Newgrange which I can highly recommend. In terms of places to eat/ bars- the Church is great there’s live music and Irish dancing on Tuesday evenings. And probably most nights. The Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Dublin and has amazing live music and food. The Irish Potato Cake is a great cafe that does an amazing Irish breakfast. Baraza also does great food for lunch.

My first solo was Dublin and highly recommend it. A small, walkable city, very safe and people were so kind. Beautiful history and sights, Trinity College and the Book of Kells! Temple Bar. Easy to book day trip tours online with an easy meeting place in central Dublin - I joined a group to see the Cliffs of Moher.
Posted: March 22, 2023Things to do: - Tour the Guinness Factory - Explore Trinity College - Walk Grafton Street - Visit St Patrick's Cathedral - Tour the Jameson Distillery - Visit Dubh Linn Gardens - Grab drinks at local pub - Check out umbrellas on Anne Street - Cross Ha’penny bridge Safety: It's very safe to travel alone there. Recommendations: Dublin is pretty small but so beautiful. You can spend a day or two there and see all the good stuff.
