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...

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

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 the rudolfskai where all of the Night Life happens! I Walk often alone when I Come Home Late, cause I...

It will be me and my backpack.. with my notebook, a book, maybe a camera and some other things that I think I might need when travelling. I'm going by bus/train to Istanbul to visit my workaway host-family <3 ..thinking this is a wonderful opportunity to get to know other people and their cities on the way! To all the dear hosts: I'll try to respectfully adapt to your home-situation. Curious to follow you around the city or happy to prepare some food for us. Just advices where to go in case you are busy are much appreciated, too :)) Looking forward to see you around, By or Baba (like we say in Salzburg)
