Is Vienna Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Vienna

I have never been robbed or assaulted. I feel save in this city. There are many people that are friendly. If you need help, many people will help you. In public transportation i feel safe too. Sometimes there are people that are loud or that are drunk but they are peaceful.

I feel very safe as a woman here. Ofc there are some parts where I feel a little uneasy when it's getting late but I have never been worried that I shouldn't go to certain places or that I don't want to pass through certain parts to get to my location. Just being mindful about your surroundings is enough :)

Even though Vienna is a big City, and I am normally very anxious, especially when it comes to walking out in the dark alone, I feel more than safe in Vienna. I often take the public transportations or walk past midnight through the city. I feel super safe, people are always there, nothing has ever happened to me. Of course as in any big city there are certain districts where you shouldn’t go and other areas where it’s completely safe. But in general I would describe Vienna as one of the safest cities and places I’ve ever been to.

you will always encounter people that are on drugs or excessive alcoholics on the streets, but as long as you do not bother them there is no need to worry. i never had any problems with safety, however i am a cautious person regarding these things, so i always keep an extra eye open :)

Well there's certainly some districts that should be avoided during the night, I never had the problem with going out at night and feeling uncomfortable, but as I mentioned, some districts are definitely sketchy, you get a weird feeling but nothing ever happened to me so far

Vienna is a big city and like all big cities a lot of crimes happen here but overall I feel safe. Especially in the inner districts there is always someone out on the streets at night so I personally also feel safe walking home at night but that isn’t guaranteed everywhere. I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve been sexually harassed (it doesn’t happen frequently) but I’ve never been robbed.

I am living in Vienna as a Single Women for 6 years now and just felt unsafe in the nightwhen I was around drunk strangers. Within the day you are safe just have a look at your belongings in the public transport

There are some areas I wouldn't go in the night, but not a whole district. I feel very safe. Last time I did go home from a privat new years party. Going by Public transport and walking 5 min in the dark home, never had a problem.

Chill and nothing to worry about. You can feel safe in Vienna. I hardly hear of any big issues. Walking at any hour is not an issue either. There are sidewalks everywhere. If you have any questions, just ask!

I feel that Vienna is quite safe, I never had an incident of violence, sexual harrassment and such. Some areas are weirder than others sure, but I‘ve never been approached by strangers in a weird way.

Solo travel

I felt very safe. Even though Viena is very expensive I could enjoy it either way. Ut was more of a budget trip so I really tried not to spent a lot. The museums were very expensive but I could visit 2, one of them was free at that day and the other one “ musa museum” is free so I still get to enjoy. If you’re able to spent more on that I would recommend Albertina museum. I stayed at the Metro apartments for 3 days and it was like 70€. It’s pretty good I think and it was only one hour walking from the center. If you’re visiting on Christmas I recommend to check the Christmas markets. Food recommendation - wurstelstand. That’s it, have a safe trip:)

Solo travel

I can say that Viana is a safe city. I stayed in a nice hotel in the city center and walked to the X-mas markets. Although it got dark early and it was the most crowded time of the city, I did not have any security problems. .
