I felt very safe, its a place with a lot of nice bars and museums, a very vivid and cultural place. I had a great time an the river, ate indian food, walked round the cute city. I was couchsurfing with a very friendly person

You can run into some shady figures at night but it's usually safe even if you're alone. There are some areas that make you feel a little uneasy like the park in front of the main station or when you exit it at the lower level past the bakeries, but personally

I have done each of these things and nothing ever happened but let’s say the train station has some homeless people at night, I wouldn’t go chill in parks at night either, the volksgarten is known for the drug dealers that chill there… well and dark streets without light is also a no. Under daylight no reason to feel uncomfortable, even at night it’s quite okay, but trust your guts!!

Linz is quitee safe, but sometimes I feel less safe when some people do drugs in the night around the main train station, but the odds they come and talk to you is really small, I still would wish that wouldn’t happen because you never know what can people do under drugs 🥺 Other than that, its pretty safe

About me

Hi! 👋🏽 I’m Begüm—welcome to my page 🤗 I recently went on my first solo trip, and it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. I met some truly amazing solo female travelers, which motivated me even more to continue exploring and connecting with new people. I discovered this platform by chance and just joined recently. I’m planning a few solo trips this summer (I’ll share them here!) and would love to meet kind locals along the way—or even potential hosts. By the way, I’ll also be hosting! Feel free to check out my hosting section 😉
