I 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
Posted: May 22, 2025Vienna is a very friendly City! Locals are very nice but when it‘s Dark and you are alone make sure to avoid lonely streets and Parks but i think thats normal in every City. At crowded places make sure to keep your Money and phone Close to you
Posted: May 16, 2025It's relatively safe. Just watch out for cars and trams. Areas like central train station (Hauptbahnhof), Floridsdorf, Simmering and the inner City are not recommended to walk alone in the night. But other than that it's safe and people will help if they see you need it.

Vienna is generally safe and many people agree on fact that it is one of the safest cities in Europe. However, I would advice you to avoid Gumpendorfer Strasse and be very cautious on U6 line and S-bahn

I felt very safe throughout my trip to Vienna—clean streets, friendly locals, and efficient public transport. I'd highly recommend visiting Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere Museum, and taking a stroll through the Naschmarkt. Skip the touristy cafes near Stephansplatz and head to Café Central instead for an authentic experience. I stayed at a mid-range hotel near Mariahilfer Straße, which was great for both shopping and transit access. My daily budget was around €50, covering food, transport, and entry fees. I used the Vienna City Card which made getting around by tram and metro easy and affordable. Here's a brief itinerary: Day 1 - MuseumsQuartier and Leopold Museum; Day 2 - Schönbrunn Palace and Zoo; Day 3 - Danube Tower and Prater. Don’t miss trying Wiener Schnitzel at Figlmüller and the Sacher Torte at Café Sacher!
