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 it really pays off if you visit some museums) The thing that annoyed me the mist was getting vegan food there are some vegan/vegetarian places but if you stay there for a few days you eventually run out of options and especially in the old town are a lot of restaurants that only serve meat
Posted: July 3, 2025Experienced: March, 2025i 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.

Salzburg 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 the rudolfskai where all of the Night Life happens! I Walk often alone when I Come Home Late, cause I dont worry about anything ! There is just One quarter of the City that I Heart to be more busy by Night: it is Lehen! But it is away from the Oldtown, so i cannot validate the Information ! All in all - you‘ll feel very Safe in our Beautiful Little Salzburg! 🌟
