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
Posted: January 31, 2026Experienced: January, 2026Linz is pretty save in my opinion. I would say you should not be scared to walk alone outside. However, always take care who you trust and what you tell people who you don‘t know at all. But all in all, Linz is a nice and safe place for sure!
Posted: October 11, 2026I think it's very safe not the really dangerous I live in this city only 1 month but it's safe at night too sometimes I stay in a city mid-night and I never really feel scary or dangerous so it's my opinion it's a safe city

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.
Posted: May 19, 2026- 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

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
Posted: December 17, 2025I 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!!
