Is Vienna Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Vienna

Vienna is a fairly safe city, but as a woman you're not 100% safe in any city in this world ( especially at night). So I would always advise you to stay alert and be careful when traveling! In comparison to other cities I can recommend traveling to Vienna as a woman.

I would say its safe especially if you travel with another person. Most of vienna is safe there are just a few spots I would not recommend to go to after dark and/or alone. For example: Reumannplatz or Kagran.

I think all in all Vienna is not unsafe, but it depends a lot on where in Vienna you are. There are safer places (I believe the centre of Vienna is one of the safer ones) but there are also more dangerous ones.

Overall, it is a very quiet and safe city, as far as I have experienced it. People are minding their business on the public transport and I haven't witnessed or received negative situations. Even at night, the city is well lit and it gives you a sense of security!

It’s a really walkable and lovely city! I’ve enjoyed it for the past few weeks and haven’t faced any problems. It is quite a diverse city with a lot of people from Turkey, and Arabic speaking countries. I love the variety of restaurants and languages in the city.

Pretty safe tbh. But it depends in which district you are. Some are of course mor dangerous than others. But I habe never been robbed, raped, harrassed or anything like that. I also feel like the woman whatch out for one another.

I wouldn't say it's safe but it's safe nowhere but nothing really bad ever happened to me before so it's safe enough to visit and look around even at night although I would recommend going out together when it's dark

MY RATING IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND WHERE I LIVE! i live in the 1080 district (8th) and in vienna safety depends strongly on where you are, overall during daytime i think that most districts are safe for women, but during night i strongly advise againt going into the 10. and 22. district, the safest are the ones in the centre so 1. to 9. district

Vienna is a very safe city, having lived here my whole life, I never had any incidents happen to me, neither robbery, assault or harassment, also having used public transport late at night and walking alone. Of course by chance stuff happens to people- like anywhere- but Vienna is very very safe, even with your open handbag and your Portemonnaie sticking out you don’t get robbed in the metro.. people even tell you your bag is open, so very very safe!

If you are in the main areas like Karlsplatz, Oper, Burgring, Kunsthistorisches Museum oder Naturhistorisches Museum you don't really have to worry about safety. However I highly suggest avoiding areas like Keplerplatz, Reumannplatz and Main Station, after 10, especially if you are alone and a women.

Group travel

We did an audiotour "Self-guided Walking Tour of the Vienna City" from Booking.com and used it for the three days we were in Vienna to everyday listen to new information about some attractions and really loved it. It was an easy way to really learn about Viennese history and see the layers of history the city has. We stayed in the Meininger Hotel Downtown Franz, and i would really recommend it. We slept in the dormitory room, and were pleasantly surprised at the privacy each bed offered and overall our experience was really good from the helpful and friendly staff to the nice guest kitchen and overall good vibe and easy stay. It was also on a walking distance from the city centre. Overall a super interesting city with lots of history and perfect for a weekend getaway, but didn't really vibe with the city as i have with some other places. The city itself didnt leave a mark in my heart and i wouldn't visit again although i really enjoyed our trip.

I had a wonderful time in Vienna! I felt completely safe throughout my stay. I highly recommend visiting the main landmarks as well as Prater, which was a fun experience. For two days, I spent around 100 euros in total. We stayed in an Airbnb, which was comfortable and convenient. To get around the city, we primarily used trams, which were efficient and easy to navigate. Vienna is a beautiful city with so much to offer, and I would love to visit again in the future!
