Dublin was great! Sabrina actually asked me to be her girlfriend in Phoenix Park, so it has a special place in my heart. 💜 We didn’t do much outside the Temple Bar area, we tattooed there so we didn’t explore much more of Dublin. If you go, plan ahead and leave 2 days max for the pubs and Temple Bar, that’s plenty of time to see everything. We found food and drinks very expensive there, and didn’t enjoy much of the nightlife. Also we did see a lot of people begging/high on the streets but we felt very safe the entire time (as brazillians this is not too shocking for us). The metro is really confusing but all of the trains are really new and fast, it’s not the cheapest but it’s worth it.

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

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 !
Posted: April 7, 2025Amazing 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 ;)

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
Posted: February 24, 2025Amazing 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!!

Mostly safe but a lot of people with drug problems. Avoid groups of teenagers as there are many antisocial teenage gangs in Dublin who harrass tourists and others. Stick to busy well-lit streets and take a taxi if it's late at night. Ask for help if you need it, most people will help you
Posted: July 9, 2025I feel people in Dublin are truly friendly and would like to offer you a hand when you have problems. I’ve been living here for six months and so far I did not get any assaulted or harassment. Life here might be a little bit quiet compared to the other major city in Europe, but I will say the pace here is really friendly to traveler.
