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. 😭
Posted: February 18, 2025Linz is a safe place. I live in the center, there are always people around so you never feel alone. They way from the center to my flat is along safe streets and just 15min to walk. There are always strange people in every city, but I'm here since 15 years and never had a problem. You just have to watch after your drinks here! Never leave a glass somewhere on the table without watching it. But the city is safe so far.

Linz is quite a small city and I think it's overall quite a safe city. I am not going out to party that much anymore except for at university where it is very safe. It is quite a bit out of center and near to small villages and lots of forests
Posted: January 15, 2025Overall Linz is a really safe city. Of course you have to be careful at night and in area you’re not very familiar with, but that’s sadly just how the world is. Aside from that I’ve never felt unsafe or scared here, just make sure you stay on well-lit streets if you don’t know the area and don’t go into parks alone when it’s dark :)
