I really loved staying in Salzburg I stayed at the YoHo hostel which wasn't expensive at all and I felt comfortable there The city was beautiful especially because it was a combination of city and the nature around it The old town is pretty and there are many museums to visit Salzburg overall was kinda expensive (especially the food) but I really recommend getting the „Salzburg Card“ since you can use the public transportation and get a lot of „free“ entry to museums (you pay for the Card but...

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 have rarely felt unsafe walking in Salzburg alone, i think a lil bit is my personality, but it has happened before. Sometimes you get aproached by shady people but till now they all fucked off before anything violent happened. Generally I'd say you are good to go when walking alone but normal safety measures apply.
Posted: April 16, 2026I never had any troubles here! Ofcourse weird drunk dudes are to avoid but that is in every city the same. I got never anything stolen or had any trouble. Just behave like in your homecity. Be chill but not careless that’s all

It’s pretty safe. I haven’t heard any complaints from anyone. Everytime I walk with my open bag, leave my stuff and go to the bathroom at the Cafe, sometimes sleep when tired in public transport and have had no accidents yet
Posted: August 8, 2025Salzburg is such a charming and magical Place to be! With its beautiful old Town and landmarks, especially the Lakes around - my study Town is just stunning 🌼 Also when I Go out the Night, After working late or coming Home from an caraoke evening in One of the Many Irish pubs I feel so Safe - but I can only rate the Situation in the old Town because of my flat being part of it! From 9/10pm on in the evening there is noone anymore in the streets, it is Not very noisy or crowded a part from...

Hi! I’m Ella, I’m studying business sustainability. Originally from British Columbia, Canada, I’m doing my exchange semesters, in Austria, and then in Aix-En-Provence, France, and I’m hoping to make the most of my time in Europe through travel, hiking, skiing, and experiencing new cultures :). I’m a sports and outdoors enthusiast and have played competitive volleyball for most of my life. I love to hike, ski, surf and am starting to get into endurance running + biking. I am always up for anything active or outdoorsy. I also love exploring new cities, fashion, art, and music festivals. I love to read and am happy to stay in as much as I am to go out. I’d say I’m a budget traveler with a “worth-it” mindset, happy to keep things simple but willing to splurge for a good experience or memory. If you’re in Europe and want to connect, plan a trip, or are open to hosting, feel free to reach out. Always happy to meet new friends! 📸 Instagram: @ellasladden
