How safe is Innsbruck?

Safety at night:Safe

Innsbruck is generally considered a safe city, even at night. The rate of violent crime is low, and it's a place where many people feel comfortable walking alone after dark. However, like anywhere, it's important to remain aware of your surroundings, especially if you're in less crowded areas. Public transportation is reliable if walking isn't comfortable for you, and locals are typically friendly and willing to assist if you need directions or advice.

Public transportation:Very safe

Innsbruck's public transportation system is generally regarded as very safe, even for solo female travelers. The drivers, staff and locals are usually friendly and helpful, and the vehicles (buses, trams, and trains) are well-maintained and clean. A great advantage of Innsbruck's public transportation is its punctuality, contributing to overall safety as waiting times are relatively short. The use of public transport during daylight hours and early evenings is particularly secure, however, late-night transportation may be viewed as slightly less reliable due to fewer passengers and less frequent service.

Street harassment:Low

Innsbruck is generally a safe city with a low level of street harassment. People are respectful, and instances of cat-calling and unwanted attention are rare. However, as with any destination, it's always essential to be aware of your surroundings and take normal precautions, particularly during late-night hours. Overall, the city is deemed comfortable for most solo female travelers.

Petty crimes:Low

Innsbruck generally enjoys a lower rate of petty crimes. While incidents like pickpocketing or purse snatching may sometimes occur in crowded tourist spots or public transportation, they're not common occurrences. As always, it is advisable to exercise usual precautions, like keeping your belongings close and avoiding isolated areas after dark.

Solo travel

Innsbruck is a great place to stay if you like the mountains. It's incredibly expensive, therfore only 4 stars, but you can be sure, that everything you buy, eat, do is out of good quality. The coffee is tasty and people are friendly, I felt very safe. If you are in a budget, avoid Innsbruck! If not, enjoy :)

I only spent a day/night there but the scenery is stunning from the whole town. You can walk along the river or head to the little mall where there's a rooftop bar with 360 degree views, good day or night. I didn't catch the cable car up to the mountain top but my friend did and she loved it! Cheaper for students in the afternoon I think. I hiked a mountain looking for a spot to boulder which I didn't have time to climb in the end but it was still lovely. Splashed myself in the mountains streamz, picked wild cherries and oregano and got a lift from a local part way up the hill with my trusty thumb! Also found a great hostel, very cosy and cheap, above cafe munding, I would highly recommend.

I always feel very safe in Innsbruck. I love to ski, and the city is perfect for that. What I love is that you can see the mountains all around the city. I was cycling, but I believe there is a train connection.

Heyy, I'm Franzi, I really enjoy being in the nature. Currently I live near Innbruck and work at an organic farm. Since it is a part of my studies, I am only here till August. If I am not working, my favourite thing to do is bathing in the sun and doing my crossword puzzles. And on the weekends I am eager to go hiking as much as I can :)
