Dublin is amongst the ‘unsafest’ major nightlife destinations in Europe, a new global study has revealed.

The team at OLBG carried out a study to reveal the safest and unsafest major destinations in Europe with Dublin making the top ten coming in at 9th position.

Three British cities landed higher than Dublin with Birmingham being the most dangerous and Manchester and London coming in at fifth and eighth place respectively.

Unsurprisingly, Naples came in second position with French capital Paris taking third spot.

The Greek capital Athens was fourth with Lyon and Brussels coming sixth and seventh. The Italian city of Milan completed the top ten.

The unsafest major destinations in Europe:

  1. Birmingham England 35.92 (safety score)
  2. Naples Napoli 37.82
  3. Paris France 42.24
  4. Athens Greece 43.94
  5. Manchester England 44.96
  6. Lyon France 45.32
  7. Brussels Belgium 45.40
  8. London England 45.80
  9. Dublin Ireland 47.18
  10. Milan Italy 48.70

Other insights from the research carried out by the company revealed that Stockholm in Sweden is the worst city in Europe for nightlife with the lowest amount of bars and nightclubs at 2.31 per 100,000 people.

A night out in the Swedish capital will also come at a cost with an average beer costing €6.92 per drink.

Warsaw has the cheapest Airbnb prices in Europe, costing just over €74 per night. Depending on the location and the time of your stay, some Airbnbs are available for less than €30 per night.

And it is not all bad news for Manchester which may be dangerous but at least they topped the list for most bars and nightclubs, at just over 55 per 100,000 people.
