None of the inappropriate encounters I had here compare to what happened to me in any other city: a "no" was always enough, the population outside at night has a good enough man/woman ratio and the transportation is safe. Here you can go to the bus driver and tell them you aren't safe : I have once been in a tram where the driver kicked a guy out after a woman said something. I do go out at night. But to be fair: I never go to Meidling and Favoriten. I also think that my skin colour and my very simple clothing style do not attract the attention of mean intended men.

Vienna is a very safe city, although it is very large. Like every city it depends on the places and districts. Overall, the tourist places and train stations are super save and I never even worried for a minute.
Posted: September 12, 2025it’s quite safe during the day but when it gets darker you have to beware of certain places and metro stations. you shouldn’t walk alone at night in certain areas as it can get dangerous. always keep something to defend yourself
Posted: August 30, 2025It’s fairy safe but I am just a scared person so I always think about that stuff. There are some people shouting stuff at you but I have never experienced something physical. I am not that concerned about robbery but i think in every big city there is a chance
Posted: August 17, 2025Vienna is a very Safe City. Of course, it’s a big city (at least compared to other austrian cities) and there are areas where I don’t feel comfortable walking alone at night (eg reumannplatz, Hauptbahnhof) but compared to other places ive been i never felt saver than in Vienna. Lived here for 20years and i barely had bad situations, but of course be aware that things can happen nevertheless and it’s definitely better to inform yourself about the areas you want to visit, especially after dark

I felt safe, i had a lot of fun with my family, but I struggled with food because I'm vegetarian. The city is beautiful and FULL of history and art. I loved it. I suggest you to visit the museum of the war because it is underrated
