based on 10 experiences from female travelers
i felt safe but people look at you curious or weirdly if you look alternative, walk barefoot or are vegan haha but i mean that kind of makes it more interesting people there are very bougie but there is a cool art museum you should go to in the Wiener-Philharmoniker-Gasse near University. Just keep your eyes open!

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.
Posted: September 6, 2023Experienced: January, 2020I 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.
Posted: July 26, 2023We 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.
Posted: June 23, 2023I 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.

Very safe, but you should avoid "Lehnerpark" and Lehen at night, because it can get dangerous there. The rest of Salzburg is safe, but its always better to not be alone at night. In the middel of Salzburg is always a lit going on and it has many streeligjts so it is not so scary.

If you go to certain spots in Salzburg in the middle of the night, of course there will be some people you might not want to meet. But over all, even I go to the central station, feeling tipsy, in the middle of the night and still feel safe.
