Unfortunately the city is very expensive, but I felt very safe, even in the evening. I went for the Christmas markets, and the city was very welcoming and charming. You should keep in mind that there are many people during this period, but the city is quite well organized.

Unforgettable one during the Christmas. Won’t be my last time. Coming back again during the Summer. Travel for Solo female travelers. If you are Aesthetic person, Vienna is definitely for you :))) Left my heart there

Travelling alone in Vienna I felt really safe! I never experience night life in this case however I did everything by foot including walking home alone when it started to be nighttime and I always felt good. Museums are great, many stuff to see about Klimt, the city is really pretty, the churches and parks too; however coming from France the *french* bakery looked catastrophic from the outside😂
Posted: November 12, 2025It was a really nice trip. I could admire the beautiful architecture of Vienna, I especially loved the Hundertwasserhaus, since he's a very admirable architect with a beautiful and inventive mind. but. one is for sure. The prices are overwhelming. I also didn't like the bus system. It was almost impossible to pay with card even when the system said otherwise

I can walk at night without being harassed. When i see someone at night i am usually left alone and people keep to themselves. Of course certain spots attract more dangerous people but i never had issies in the 5th district.
Posted: December 11, 2025Vienna is generally very safe. At night, it’s good to avoid the Prater park and Praterstern area, but otherwise it’s a safe city. Don’t fall for sob stories in train stations (“train fare” needed, fake pregnancies, people asking for directions and crowding you …), those are professional scammers. Bolt taxis offer a female driver service if needed.
Posted: November 22, 2025I feel very safe when I go out in vienna. But still, you should always be aware of your surroundings, as you should be everywhere. When you go out at night you probably will see some strange people. If you stay aware and don't let them get to close, it should be fine. As a 21 year old woman, Im often on my way home late at night and alone, I even feel save enough to listen to music.

I’ve been living in Vienna for about 15 years now, and I usually feel safe — it’s a pretty safe city overall. Of course, like any big city, there are some areas I’d rather avoid as a woman, especially at night. But overall, I love the feeling of walking around, exploring the streets, and enjoying the city without constant worry.
Posted: October 27, 2025Compared to all other big cities in Europe for me Vienna is the safest city. I have lived and traveled other big cities in Europe too, so i guess for me best one would be Vienna, Köln was also not bad travelled few times

Hey, My name is Inga I am a 23 year old student from Germany. I love travelling, especially for nature and animals and try to make my travels as sustainable and low budget as possible. I also like to explore cities and new cultures, especially food 🤭 I am vegetarian, and like to read and try out different sports. Learning from locals about the best spots and their history is the best way to get to know places. Hope to meet some nice people here :)

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.
