    Dublin is definitely a very safe and welcoming city. It is so easy to get around, either by walking or by taking various modes of transportation, and my favorite part about the city is the amount of parks that it has, which offer a quiet reprieve from the bustle of the city. There are so many historical monuments and museums that there is always something new to see on the weekends and it is very convenient to be right in the center of the action at Trinity's campus.

    Dublin is a very friendly city and I absolutely love it here. Transport is not the best but as it isn't a huge place this doesn't matter too much. The nightlife is great, lots of pubs and clubs and things. There's a good range of shopping and nice parks etc. Like any city it has some dodgy areas / aspects but it isn't a significant problem and people are generally pretty safe.
