Crime & Women's Safety in Vienna

Vienna is a safe city, of course sometimes you can see some shady people, but it also depends on the specific area. Overall I don't feel in danger whenever I walk around Viennese streets. And in the darkness even the safest places become less trustworthy ;)

Vienna is super clean, well lit at night and has amazing public transport! 10/10 recommend Very few homeless people and people generally rather ignore you than talk to you unprompted, the bias is true - the Viennese are grumpy haha BUT they will absolutely tell you the way!

I would say that Vienna is extremely safe, even for female solo travellers. Of course it varies from district to district, but especially the inner districts 1-9 are safe. As a woman, I feel safe here, even being allone in the streets at night.

Overall Vienna is quite safe i guess. Especially in the inner districts. But don’t go through dark streets alone during the night. U should also not go in parks at nighttime alone. Public transport is normally safe and no problem.

Vienna is a very safe city on average. Still, there sadly are unpleasant situations in everyday life (especially as a woman), but living in and exploring Vienna usually isn't dangerous at all. Simple stay alert and enjoy your time here :)

From my personal experience Vienna is rather safe. In the past i have dealt with minor sexual harassment, like catcalling, but nothing that has put me in danger. I would not say that there are certain districts, which are more dangerous than others. However, while i feel safe, i do want to mention the high femicide rate. From what i understand Austria is the only country in the EU in which more women are murdered than men. Overall Austria still has one of the lowest murder rates in the EU, but these statistic show how misogyny is still deeply engrained in our culture.

Depending on the district, but generally speaking very safe & easy! Women experience harm sadly everywhere, but Vienna is decent. Public transportation is okay but you see drunks & homeless. Generally 9/10 Safety

Vienna is a really safe and clean city. I never had any problems here and I live here since 5 years. You will have a good time, nothing can happen basically you can even walk home by night. There are also many police men and securities

There is nothing really to worry about. Maybe be in company at night, that is always better. But I used to work night shifts and I felt quite safe on my way home. Depends a lot on the district you are in.

There are a few places to avoid after dark (especially some train stations, like praterstern). As a solo woman you may feel gnerally a bit uneasy at night. But in the day you won't experience any problems and all in all it's a very safe city.

Group travel experience

I visited Vienna recently with my best friend. We stayed at a small airbnb and roamed around the city. I think it depends on the place where u are but we felt a bit unsafe when it came to being outside. We went to museums and the huge luna park in the middle of the city which i fully recommend!!!

Solo travel experience

I felt very safe the whole time. 4 days were more than enough to see all I wanted. The Christmas markets are very worth visiting more for the experience than the shopping per se. The city center is quite small so you can walk almost everywhere with little effort but public transportation is widely available and easy to use.

Solo travel experience

I adore this city. Mostly people welcoming. Subway is pretty good. There is a lot of touristic places. I love to walk in the city because every street taking you different places. You will feel so calm.

Group travel experience

When I visited Vienna, it was cold, but the sun made it warmer. We didn't use public transportation, since all the touristic places were accessible on foot. However, by the end of the day, you might be tired - but it's worth it. Sitting on the terrace of the Albertina and taking in the surroundings is a great way to rest.
