Safe areas of Dublin, Ireland???

My family and I are visiting Ireland in a few weeks. In Dublin we are staying at the Hilton Kilmainham Hotel just south of Phoenix Park. We plan to walk everywhere in Dublin and most of the places we want to see are about 2-3 km east of the hotel. Is the area between the Hilton Kilmainham and Trinity College, for example, a safe area to walk in? I'm sure we'll be tired from all the walking, but I'm really concerned with safety.

You could always get a bus pass and use the buses if you felt unsafe.

It's not the safest area to walk after dark, no, but I don't think anyplace in Dublin is 100% safe.

I would advise taking the LUAS from Dublin city centre to Heuston Station, and then walking from there.

the whole city is safe. I love dublin

The area where the Hilton Kilmainham is situated is well served by buses but you're right, if you plan your days/route you can walk anywhere. It is safe where the hotel is. I live around the corner from it.

At night or in the evening, you'd probably be better of on a bus or taxi (taxi won't be much from city centre)...not because of safety reasons but you'll probably be glad to rest your feet!

You'll be safe but as with any city...keep a hold of personal belongings...especially items which could be hanging off you...cameras, phones, wallets in back packs etc.

Drop me a line if you need any more info.

That's a safe enough area but it's quite a hike to the city centre. You can get a bus. Dublin city centre is safe, of course be careful of the usual things - drunken tourists, pickpockets... Just don't venture deep down the outskirts, there's nothing to see and you might end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Dublin is a safe place to walk in.Just do it during the day time.Grafton street is a popular place.O'Connell street is very popular,Henry st.,Moore st,"halfpenny" bridge..Your be fine.If your not sure where your going just ask " a Dub." :-).Buy a street map it'll help you out.

dublin is safe if you are not acting stupidly. dont advertise the fact that you are a tourist, i mean by wearing stupid tee shirts with Kiss Me I'm Irish etc. You become a magnet for all sorts of scam merchants. Kilmainham is fairly central, about 15/ 20 minutes stroll down the quays from Kingsbridge to O'Connell bridge, which is the centre of the city. There are very good free guide maps available from the Tourist Board. You are staying close to the Guinness Hop Store which is a must visit, and you will get to sample the Guinness free, made from real River Liffey water. Enjoy you visit.
