For my experience so far, it is a pretty safe city. there might me certain areas (like near the mainstation) where you should be a little bit more careful but i myself never encountered a situation where i felt really u safe or where something happened to me.
Posted: December 25, 2024I think it is as safe as a normal European city’s. But safer than big city’s like Berlin or Frankfurt. But always keep in mind normal safety behaviors, like not getting to drunk or not driving with strangers in a car.

Salzburg is a very Safe city it’s very small and there are people around during the day, in the night it can seem lonely in the streets but it’s quite safe all in all I always use public transport and amhave never been harassed even as a woman of colour. The main city ist quite safe ands so is the the country side. Just the part of the city called Lehen is a bit shady.
Posted: December 25, 2024Salzburg is a very safe place. It is a small town, with lots of tourists, but generally very safe to stay and visit. Compared to other bigger cities like vienna. It is quite peaceful, and people are also not grumpy like in Vienna
Posted: November 24, 2024Salzburg is a super safe city. Of course, you should be aware while walking at night but I’ve never had a bad experience. I would say be careful if you walk near City beats on Friday night, because people are a bit drunk. They don’t approach you physically but might catcall.

Salzburg is very safe, probably one of the safest cities in the world. There are just a few spots I would not go to in the dark, for example the Lehner park. Whenever you don't feel safe you can always rely on the police to help

It's a small city, which is in my opinion very safe. I spend most of my freetime in the city and never before did any of my things get stolen :) Public transport is also safe, as you arrive the only place that might scare you is the train station - but it's not as bad as it seems ;)
Posted: August 7, 2024You are pretty safe in Salzburg, even when it is dark, the only people that make me anxious are the drunk ones. But that also happens rarely, the public transport is for me a safe place. Also many streets are lighten up in the dark.
Posted: July 29, 2024Salzburg is pretty safe, especially at daytime and in crowded spaces. However, I would recommend not walking everywhere alone at night or at least having someone checking up on you if you do so. Personally, I feel pretty safe in the old town and using the public transport.
Posted: July 13, 2024I‘ve lived here for four months through a student exchange program and have never felt unsafe. I am mindful of pickpockets in busy areas, but have never heard of it happening since I’ve been here. I‘m just cautious about that in general. The public transit is very reliable and I always feel safe, even when traveling alone after dark

Salzburg is super safe to travel as a female solo traveller. I used public transport to go around (I took the 3 day tourist card) and they are really reliable. The food was nice (ate Wiener Schnitzel) but unfortunately I didn't really explore the culinary. I was also registered to the free-walking-tour. Was the best decision because not only someone can "show" you around but also you got interesting information!

Safe place for doing the solo trip and the view is beautiful in summer. I really enjoyed the sight view of the city and it’s a busy city but also kinda chill city. You can go to the mountains and the city just in less than one hour

I am a 24 year old female, studying in Salzburg & working in Vienna (Austria). I love dance, music, photography, crocheting, hormonal health, horses and the English language. I very rarely travel for the sake of just exploring new places; most often I find myself taking on new cities because of a specific event that is taking place there, like concerts or exhibitions - and I love love meeting new friends on the way! I would much rather spend an afternoon exploring exciting topics of conversation over a nice cup of coffee, than visiting the sights; hopefully building lifelong friendships and developing an international network as I go! I value open communication, respecting boundaries and active listening. If this is given, I feel like I am able to connect with people of all walkes of life and all types of humour; and I'm definitely curious of meeting people that can challenge and expand my own worldviews.
