Women travelers
Very safe — Ireland has been ranked among the best destinations in the world for solo female travelers. Standard vigilance at night in party areas.
LGBTQ+ travelers
Very welcoming. Ireland was the first country to legalize marriage equality by referendum (2015). Dublin, Cork and Galway have active LGBTQ+ scenes.
