Stayed for 5 days, didn’t know how to travel back then but most of my travel was museums and parks and of course the Danub river and flea market. The history is rush and the buildings architecture is wonderful

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.

I went to hallstatt on train and it was the best thing ever! The view was amazing. And the village was beyond perfection. There was little hike and great views. It was crowded but not loud or dirty. The village was safe and clean. Souvenirs was bit expensive but not a big deal. You can buy salts as a great souvenir

It was a very pleasent stay with two of my kids at a place catsitting. Nice city and trips to the surrounding nature with hills, caves and this fancy cathedral. We went to the cityhill with the towerclock and went downhill on a slide. That was fun.

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. There’s 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 world’s 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 wasn’t 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)

Is Austria safe for women?
Dornbirn
Quite safe compared to most citys, maybe not as much at night, but crime rate quite low. Especially in daylight there is nothing to worry about at all. Maybe stay away from the trainstation at night.

I never heard of a crime happening hear. It’s a small town and not a lot is happening here wich makes it a very safe place to stay. The surrounding towns are very safe as well. Even the closest big city Graz is not too unsafe. Women should just stand up for themselves and most men will shut up after that

I think it's very safe not the really dangerous I live in this city only 1 month but it's safe at night too sometimes I stay in a city mid-night and I never really feel scary or dangerous so it's my opinion it's a safe city

Gmunden is a very safe place to be for women. There are plenty cute bistros and coffee shops. The night life is as you expect in a small town, not that much. I never experienced some dangerous situation.

Never felt safer in a city. During day there are many tourists but everybody is busy pointing at stuff and beiing amazed by everything (yes me too 'cause its amazing there)😂 and at night there is also nothing. The people are super friendly and also helpful if you need something ✨️

It is very safe, even at night. Of course it depends on the areas, but all in all I feel quite safe. Because of the very good public transport, especially at weekends, there is always a way home and there are mostly many peoples in the public transports, so you are not alone.

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

My Goal here is to find Experience here like Couchsurfing. I was a member of CS for a while when I was a student since 2018, it was the best experience!! I traveled through USA and Europe, did crazy cool stuff! After the experience in Italy I stoped, too many bad things happened. Im really looking for much safer space and community. Hope it’s Travel Ladies! Im really up for hosting girls and being hosted! I‘d love to meet new cool girls who are open to the world!! I can show you Vienna from inside experience☺️
