12 Cities Solo Female Travelers Can Trust — Cities That Actually Score High on the Global Index

9. Dublin, Ireland — improving safety and visitor-focused services

Dublin is a lively city with improving safety measures and expanding resources aimed at visitors. Ireland’s recent steps to modernize protections and the presence of tourist police in busy neighborhoods make Dublin a practical choice for solo visitors, though typical urban caution still applies. Tip 1: Stick to busy streets and licensed transport at night rather than quiet residential lanes. Tip 2: Use official taxi ranks or verified ride apps for late returns. Tip 3: Check event times and public transport schedules if attending late concerts or festivals. Women-focused services: Tourist offices and some local guides offer women-only tours and can share safety resources and helplines. (Sources: HowStuffWorks, BBC Travel reporting.)
