Graz is totally safe. I often have to go home alone in the dark and I have never experienced something threatening. I usually ride my bike, so I have less experience with the bus and tram, but I would say they are safe too.

Graz is a pretty safe and calm place, unfortunately no place is 100% safe. Just be mindful of your surroundings, trust your gut feeling and don't go into dark allies at night(and try to avoid Gries or public parks at night it's not horrible but it can definitely get scary and unsafe sometimes)
Posted: April 15, 2025Graz is a smaller scale city. It is very safe in my opinion. I have no problem walking around at nighttime alone and no worries regarding my safety. Like in all cities there may be some places which are to avoid but overall a very safe space

Graz is a safe place for people and women in particular, there are some streets where you should be careful (like basic security measures of not walking alone in the dark park or street for example), but overall it is very safe. The criminal rates are very low here.
Posted: April 4, 2025I feel very safe around the city especially when I’m in the center of it. The public transport is safe and there are many people using it even at night time. Only thing I am always concerned about is when I am around Gries. I always try to skip the Griesplatz at nighttime. Nonetheless as previously mentioned the rest of the inner city really feels safe -also there are many lights so on the most streets it’s not dark which also makes it feel entirely different.
Posted: March 31, 2025It’s just a calm and small city. Not much to worry about :) I would just avoid Griesplatz - that’s quite sketchy. When it is a holiday, and there are a lot of people on the streets, I maybe would not go in the city center - there have been accident with cars… None of the less, you can visit Graz alone as a women
Posted: February 2, 2025Graz is very safe, you can walk alone at night without feeling in danger. The eastern part of the city is less livable, but I have been there a lot and I did not feel in danger even at night. It is a student city.
Posted: January 16, 2025Graz is safe, most of the time. I can walk at night and no one talks to me. I feel safe and there are only a few times where I felt harassed. Most at night but most of the time nothing ever happend to me. You need to be more careful when one of the soccer clubs are playing but otherwise it is pretty safe

Graz is very safe in a global aspect! Most people are very nice and considerate. There‘s weirdos and shitty people / gross men everywhere in the world and Graz is no exception but there‘s lots of good people here too and I feel pretty safe walking around by myself. Crime rate is relatively low as well. I had my bike stolen which is very sad and not uncommon here but apart from that you don‘t really need to be scared to be robbed or mugged

I feel most people are nice here. I recommend the mountain Schöckel. As a Chinese I’m not used to eating traditional food in Graz but Italian restaurants never disappointed me. Every meal cost about 10-30 Euro. I rent a room for 500 Euro a month because i have to work here for one year
Posted: November 7, 2024Graz is really safe and beautiful city. I am living it in here for 2 months and i am happy in here. If you want to travel around city you should use bikes. It is way easier and cheap way of doing it. I think you will enjoy here!

Heyy, my name is Lisa. I am 21 years old and I would love to see a little more of what the world has to offer. I enjoy outdoor activities, exploring culture(I love art museums) and also just something calm Land relaxing like enjoying a day at the beach or trying the local cuisine(and beverages;)) I also love trying out new hobbies:)
