Salzburg is super safe to travel as a female solo traveller. I used public transport to go around (I took the 3 day tourist card) and they are really reliable. The food was nice (ate Wiener Schnitzel) but unfortunately I didn't really explore the culinary. I was also registered to the free-walking-tour. Was the best decision because not only someone can "show" you around but also you got interesting information!

Safe place for doing the solo trip and the view is beautiful in summer. I really enjoyed the sight view of the city and it’s a busy city but also kinda chill city. You can go to the mountains and the city just in less than one hour

Salzburg is a very beautiful city! I really enjoyed my trip there with two friends of mine. We've been to a museum which was really interesting. The city center is clean and there are many shopping possibilities.

I took a day trip to Salzburg by train. I went to the old town for a while, walked around a bit, and then took a bus to the Alps for a small walk. I took a cable car up the hill and from there I reached the highest point. The climb was quite hassle-free, and the view was beautiful. I recommend trying the apple strudel from the old town.

We took a tour tracing the Sounds of Music, which stopped in Hallstatt and it was beautiful there. I regret that I didn't have more time to spend the whole day there. We ate at a restaurant in Hotel Goldgasse, which is a Michelin-starred restaurant. I highly recommend it. We stayed at the Stein Hotel and it was very nice there, right by the canal. Within walking distance of all the wonderful shops and restaurants.

I loved Salzburg. I went there only because I adore "The Sound of Music," so the trip was most important to me. The Mozart's house is worth visiting and I took the cable car up to Unterberg Mountain, which was amazing. I recommend a trip to Hallstatt, it's beautiful. I felt like I was in a village straight out of a Disney movie.

Salzburg is a super safe city. Of course, you should be aware while walking at night but I’ve never had a bad experience. I would say be careful if you walk near City beats on Friday night, because people are a bit drunk. They don’t approach you physically but might catcall.

Salzburg is very safe, probably one of the safest cities in the world. There are just a few spots I would not go to in the dark, for example the Lehner park. Whenever you don't feel safe you can always rely on the police to help

About Me
I am a 24 year old female, studying in Salzburg & working in Vienna (Austria). I love dance, music, photography, crocheting, hormonal health, horses and the English language. I very rarely travel for the sake of just exploring new places; most often I find myself taking on new cities because of a specific event that is taking place there, like concerts or exhibitions - and I love love meeting new friends on the way! I would much rather spend an afternoon exploring exciting topics of conversation over a nice cup of coffee, than visiting the sights; hopefully building lifelong friendships and developing an international network as I go! I value open communication, respecting boundaries and active listening. If this is given, I feel like I am able to connect with people of all walkes of life and all types of humour; and I'm definitely curious of meeting people that can challenge and expand my own worldviews.
