Solo travel
Vienna surprised me alot. It was stunning, definitely one of my favorite cities. I was solo and felt very safe. The food was also very good. Public transport easy to navigate. Would recommend having food in a park on the grass or just enjoy time there.

Stopped here for two days on a longer solo train trip through Eastern Europe and had an amazing time! Loved (and highly recommend) the cafe culture. Bring a book and relax. There’s no pressure to leave. Actually getting my server to bring my check so I could pay and leave was challenging lol Wonderful people with an easy to navigate metro system. Go to a classical concert and ride the world’s oldest Ferris wheel!

It was fun. We saw museums and zoo and we were walking around, but it was quite expensive. It was on September so it was a little cold. The landscape was beautiful and worth to see. A lot of people are around.

Vienna is one of the safest cities I have lived in. The overall feeling of safety is part of the city/country. I and the people I asked have not yet been victim of any assault. I would recommend travelling
Posted: June 30, 2026vienna is a rather safe city. as a women I feel relatively safe. however it’s still a big city therefore I would always be careful and not be alone at night. but in comparison to other cities it’s great especially for solo travellers
Posted: June 21, 2026I live in the « worst » district of Vienna (10. Favoriten), but children are walking here without parents even after sunset. I never feel unsafe here! The only problem I can imagine is seeing screaming drunk person after a football game.
Posted: June 3, 2026It is very safe. There is no reason to be uncomfortable in terms of harassment or pickpockets. Just avoid Matzleinsdorferplatz sation during night. And in Gumpendorferstraße station there are many drug addicted people who hang out there day and night. I wouldn’t really say its unsafe, you should just be careful.

About me
Hey everyone! I'm Sophia, living in Vienna and always up for good chats, random adventures, and coffee that turns into plans. My first solo trip was in 2017 — five months across Oceania and Asia. I came back with sand in my backpack, a mild addiction to rice dishes, and an even stronger addiction to exploring new places. 🌍 I love nature, city walks, and laughing at my own bad sense of direction. I’m that clumsy person who somehow stumbles over her own feet, but also into the best spots and events. ☀ Always up for meeting new people from all over the world, trying new restaurants, learning about different cultures and sharing laughs and stories. 💚

Hi, I am Kiki! Nice meeting you on travel ladies! 💁🏼♀️ I stumbled across this platform after meeting amazing travel buddies through workaway! 🗺️ It was a life-changing experience meeting one of my closest friends - now I have families in several countries 😍 As I grew up in a very hospitable family, I love inviting people over and meeting people from other cultures! 🤗 I originate from Croatia and Serbia, but grew up in Vienna - so I speak several languages and therefore learned to appreciate different cultures 🫶🏼 In my everday-life I am finishing my medical studies and working as a student in the pediatric-radiology department. I enjoy my career very much but also want to broaden my horizons while meeting people from all over the world! 🌎 Let’s get in contact and organise a memorable travel together! Planning to go to Southeast Asia beginning of April - always happy to get some recommendations or meet a travel buddy ✈️❤️

About me
Hi I’m Cris from Austria. I’m currently on a health journey, staying active, and keeping things simple and focused – but travel is my way to reset, get inspired, and meet people who bring fresh energy. I’m down-to-earth, clean, independent, and appreciate honest conversations. I don’t need much – just good vibes, mutual respect, and maybe a walk through the city or along the coast. I’m happy to share space, stories, or just enjoy quiet company whatever feels natural.

Here and there, letting go of labels and identities that limit me. Been traveling not entirely for fun a lot the past months, had fun anyway and am looking forward to being more settled back in Viena. I like walks, chaos and mischief.

About me
Hey there, I'm Dari, 25 y.o., born in Siberia, and Austria is my Number 7 country of residence which cost me my mental health but also gave me lots of awesome memories! I lost myself many times, but at the same time I saw beautiful places, met amazing people, and lived through all the ups and downs of being a newcomer. More than 7 years ago I started solo travelling, and found out that there are so many people thriving to see the world just like me! This is truly inspiring! I love travelling more than anything else, but also trying to reduce the carbon trace by not going anywhere out of my institute except vacation destinations. I also try to cycle, walk and hike as much as possible, love every single step I make on my own! 🌱 Studies and research take the most of my daily life which I truly enjoy and adore, thus it leads me to some random passions instead of long-term hobbies. Hiking and cycling are must in my life, but I also like watching fashion shows and tennis, which I do occasionally. I love making videos about my trips, draw and write poems, but I never get time for anything so I ended up with laundry and groceries being my only permanent hobbies. I also really love trying new things, this year was lucky to play golf and paint with oil for the first time and hopefully will get to paragliding or surfing in the nearest future! I never stop setting new goals and challenge myself, I believe life goes fast so take it all while you can!

Hi, I enjoy sports (especially beach volleyball), traveling, writing, DIY projects, and much more. I’m a freelancer in the field of digital content creation and work from home. I enjoy meeting new people. I’d be happy to host you if you need a place to stay. Unfortunately, I’m a terrible tour guide when it comes to restaurants, bars, and the like, since I spend most of my time in parks or by the water, where I exercise for free—I’m anti-capitalist and don’t like spending money on everything.

About me
Hi everyone! My name is Aizirek, and I'm an environmental science student currently studying in Lund, Sweden. I am passionate about traveling in a simple, respectful manner and truly connecting with the places I visit. As a host myself, I deeply understand and value the kindness of sharing a home. I'm very clean, quiet, and will treat your space with the utmost respect. I'm very independent and will likely be out exploring most of the day. I love visiting local cafes, hiking, or exploring museums. I'm not looking for a tour guide, but I would love to share a cup of tea or coffee in the evening and hear any local recommendations you have! I'm just so grateful for a safe place to rest my head while I explore your city. Looking forward to meeting you!
