Hallstatt, Group travel
I went to hallstatt on train and it was the best thing ever! The view was amazing. And the village was beyond perfection. There was little hike and great views. It was crowded but not loud or dirty. The village was safe and clean. Souvenirs was bit expensive but not a big deal. You can buy salts as a great souvenir

on NYE i was at Vienna, that was amazing! Although the cold, soooo much people are visiting Vienna too. I went with my (ex)boyfriend and had so much fun. We both like photography, i took adorable pictures but i cannot share because of file size :,)

Graz, Family travel
It was a very pleasent stay with two of my kids at a place catsitting. Nice city and trips to the surrounding nature with hills, caves and this fancy cathedral. We went to the cityhill with the towerclock and went downhill on a slide. That was fun.

Vienna, Solo travel
Stopped here for two days on a longer solo train trip through Eastern Europe and had an amazing time! Loved (and highly recommend) the cafe culture. Bring a book and relax. There’s no pressure to leave. Actually getting my server to bring my check so I could pay and leave was challenging lol Wonderful people with an easy to navigate metro system. Go to a classical concert and ride the world’s oldest Ferris wheel!

Linz
I feel safe in Linz during the day especially. Night time can be a little intimidating in certain corners but it’s not nearly as bad as other cities. The trams in can get crowded and I would advise to beware of pickpockets. It’s never happened to me but I just feel like it could be possible.

- For living, traveling, going out: yes, Linz is safe - You still use normal big-city awareness (especially at night or in crowded transport hubs) - Compared to most European cities: on the safer side

It is very safe. There is no reason to be uncomfortable in terms of harassment or pickpockets. Just avoid Matzleinsdorferplatz sation during night. And in Gumpendorferstraße station there are many drug addicted people who hang out there day and night. I wouldn’t really say its unsafe, you should just be careful.

Vienna
I have never felt unsafe in Vienna. However just be aware if dark allies, and have a charged phone. But there is always public transportation, if you have the app (Wiener Linien) you will find your way home, Google maps also works fine. . There is people on the streets most of the time, at any time of the day you meet people, mostly university students going home at night. I was worried about moving here on my own, since I don't go home alone where I lived before. I really enjoy how independent...
