Vienna, Solo travel
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 outside😂

It 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

One of the safest cities that I have been to. Many attractions, beautiful architecture, history, good wine. People are really friendly, especially stuff in restaurants or bars. Prices are pretty high but you can find different options. Very clear public transport, it's easy to travel and hard to get lost haha.

Safety is super high overall in Austria, the only exception are certain districts in Vienna or other bigger cities, like anywhere in the world. Normal safety precautions are definitly sufficient, even for female solo travellers!

very safe mini city in austria. this city is in the middle of the region vorarlberg :) if you want to spend a few quiet days in the middle of the alps then it's nice for you. but it's not very cool for young ppl bec there aren't any clubs/amazing activities/places...

Vienna is generally very safe. At night, it’s good to avoid the Prater park and Praterstern area, but otherwise it’s a safe city. Don’t fall for sob stories in train stations (“train fare” needed, fake pregnancies, people asking for directions and crowding you …), those are professional scammers. Bolt taxis offer a female driver service if needed.

About me
Heyy! I’m Aylin, 24 years old, and I quit my job in August 2024 to travel the world.🌍 I’m always curious about new countries and cultures. I’m a nature lover, a foodie, and always up for a little adventure! So far, this journey has brought me some unforgettable moments—like seeing Angkor Wat in real life or diving with sharks in the Philippines. But honestly, my favorite memories come from the amazing locals I’ve met along the way, who welcomed me into their everyday lives and gave me a deeper understanding of their culture.✨ I’m a mix of adventure-seeker and quiet soul. I love meaningful conversations and genuine connections, though I’m also quite introverted and appreciate some quiet time now and then. Partys and alcohol are not my thing. I’d describe myself as empathetic, respectful, easygoing, and tidy. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers!🌞
