How safe is Salzburg?

Salzburg is fairly safe. Depending which are and what time. I have lost my wallet and ID once and both was fully returned. I don’t think anyone ever stole from me and I can’t reaally remember if something like that happened to people I know. So its not as common as in other European countries but if you are in crowded places always look out for anything. As I’ve lived there for 24 years, of course, I have had a few uncomfortable experiences, but most of them happened while going out or at night, so if you make sure you don’t stay alone at those times, you don’t have to worry about a thing.

It's a safe city as long as you don't get to know the wrong people. There are a lot of crazy people and stalkers, so take care whom you meet up with, why and when. Most men I got to know here were disgusting.

I feel incredibly safe here. People treat you kindly and unless they are really drunk, nobody invades your personal space. If you forget something in a coffee shop, for example, you can be sure that it will be there the next day. The crime rate is very low here and normally people are kind with everyone

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

Salzburg is a very beautiful city! I really enjoyed my trip there with two friends of mine. We've been to a museum which was really interesting. The city center is clean and there are many shopping possibilities.

Solo travel experience

I took a day trip to Salzburg by train. I went to the old town for a while, walked around a bit, and then took a bus to the Alps for a small walk. I took a cable car up the hill and from there I reached the highest point. The climb was quite hassle-free, and the view was beautiful. I recommend trying the apple strudel from the old town.
