Ireland travel advisory
Level 1· Exercise Normal Precautions State Department updated March 20, 2026
What the advisory says
Exercise normal precaution in Ireland. Ireland is generally a safe destination for travelers. Travelers should remain vigilant as petty crime is common, especially in popular tourist locations. Stay aware of your surroundings. Most crimes against foreigners are crimes of opportunity, like purse snatching and pickpocketing. Large-scale demonstrations related to the local political situation may occur with little notice. Demonstrations may disrupt transportation and other essential services.
