Traveling with a friend to visit the town of Werfen to hike the trail to see the Sound of Music location. Looking forward to seeing a concert, staying in safe areas and using public transportation is requested.
Guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Kay

Hard to believe, but there are no unsafe areas.

We visited Vienna and Salzburg in Aug 2025; we did not feel unsafe at any time and used public transport. Our trip report might be useful reference for your planning (parts 1-6): https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/trip-reports/trip-report-austria-bavaria-aug-sep-2025

When in Salzburg which is very safe you will have free public transport with the mobility pass issued by your accommodation.
