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

Linz is generally very safe, especially in the north and central. South of linz can sometimes be a bit spooky but generally I feel very safe in the city. I have never been harrased but there is bit of a bicycle theft problem.

Linz is fairly save. It's not the best but I think its okay. There are just a lot of drunk people and a lot of men out but normaly they don't say anything to you so they leave you alone. In total I think Linz is pretty save, normally there are not very much people going out at night.

Linz is pretty safe but i would not take puplic transport alone at night. I would also not recommend Auwiesen/ Turmstraße or Rudolfstraße at night. The Hauptbahnhof is also safe and nightlife is not dangerous at all
