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.

on NYE i was at Vienna, that was amazing! Although the cold, soooo much people are visiting Vienna too. I went with my (ex)boyfriend and had so much fun. We both like photography, i took adorable pictures but i cannot share because of file size :,)

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. Thereโs 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 worldโs 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.

Such a beautiful place to walk around and visit, even though it wasnโt December, Austria definitely had the Christmas spirit all around the place, would definitely recommend if your intention is to go somewhere where they have loads of Xmas markets! (Rathausplatz)

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.

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 outside๐
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

Vienna is a very safe city. Itโs no problem to walk alone at night as a woman. Most streets are lit bright all night long and the general criminality rate is quite low. Iโve never had any safety problems.
Posted: August 3, 2026Vienna is pretty safe. I never had something stolen or anything like that. Still you shouldnโt just leave your things alone in public (even though some people do). At night it should be save too, but I still am always careful, just in case.

For me vienna seems a pretty save city . Of cause the U-Bahn at night are scarry but that is normal. Around the main Touristic Places you have to watch out for your personal belongings of cause more so when you walk around the 1 District you should keep more an eye

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 itโs still a big city therefore I would always be careful and not be alone at night. but in comparison to other cities itโs great especially for solo travellers
Posted: June 21, 2026I live in the ยซย worstย ยป 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.

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 โ 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. ๐ I love nature, city walks, and laughing at my own bad sense of direction. Iโm that clumsy person who somehow stumbles over her own feet, but also into the best spots and events. โ Always up for meeting new people from all over the world, trying new restaurants, learning about different cultures and sharing laughs and stories. ๐
