How safe is Vienna?
Vienna is very very safe for solo female travellers, I got to experience it myself when backpacking! I stayed in Vienna for multiple days and on two nights I didn't have an accommodation, so I was basically homeless 😅 but everything was fine.... even walking throug the streets at 3 am.

I was there a hole day and it felt really safe. As far as I was alone, I got to ask to the people to take me pictures so I felt really safe in the place. Also I was there until night. At night it was the same, I felt really comfortable.
Posted: June 18, 2025Vienna is a very safe place, but there are some districts (15 and 10), where you shouldn’t go. In the city centre you can find a lot of police officers, so you don’t to worry about your safety. There are rare cases of theft, so you should not leave your belongings unattended
Posted: June 7, 2025I feel safe, I don’t feel that somebody is going to attack me. I am finishing my work at night and I have to come back alone at night , I don’t feel any danger when I am walking home. Anyway I think Vienna is nice safe city
Posted: June 2, 2025I guess Vienna is considered moderetly safe city, but we still do have men, so nowhere is 100% safe unfortunately. Also, it probably depends on the district. Vienna is not very night life city. If it is possible to avoid walking at night, better do that. Stay safe

Vienna is very nice and safe place, I am living in city center and I can’t really say how safe the district out of city would be but I think on the daytime it’s pretty safe everywhere and you can use public transport anywhere

I felt very very safe. I stayed at the Magdas Hotel..... it was nice. Vienna has a lot of interesting places and events to experience. Donau island is great for relaxing and you can even swim there for free!

It was really cold. I feel more than save. I meet a girl that was traveling alone too. It was a really good experience. The food was really good, I ate a lot, it was expensive but good. Also I was there for my birthday and the people was nice.
