Linz is quitee safe, but sometimes I feel less safe when some people do drugs in the night around the main train station, but the odds they come and talk to you is really small, I still would wish that wouldn’t happen because you never know what can people do under drugs 🥺 Other than that, its pretty safe

Linz is generally very safe, especially in the north and central. South of linz can sometimes be a bit spooky but generally I feel very safe in the city. I have never been harrased but there is bit of a bicycle theft problem.

Linz is fairly save. It's not the best but I think its okay. There are just a lot of drunk people and a lot of men out but normaly they don't say anything to you so they leave you alone. In total I think Linz is pretty save, normally there are not very much people going out at night.
Posted: May 28, 2025Linz is pretty safe but i would not take puplic transport alone at night. I would also not recommend Auwiesen/ Turmstraße or Rudolfstraße at night. The Hauptbahnhof is also safe and nightlife is not dangerous at all

depending on the area, linz is quite safe. unless you are around the train station at night that is. I do have to say, as a queer, alt-looking woman, i have experienced some weird comments by men and young boys. 😭
