solo trip to vienna.. such a cute and charming city.. so much klimt, art and beautiful details everywhere.. the food was super good and the people were really friendly.. it has this calm, elegant vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy everything a bit more.. would happily go back

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.

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

You can run into some shady figures at night but it's usually safe even if you're alone. There are some areas that make you feel a little uneasy like the park in front of the main station or when you exit it at the lower level past the bakeries, but personally

I would say it‘s really safe. I walked home in the middle of the night so many times and never had any problems or felt unsafe. I mean it also depends on where you are but I haven’t felt unsafe.

Villach is a rather conservative city, but still safe for going out there alone at night. I still recommend telling someone local where you are, where you are going and calling them on your way home.

I can walk at night without being harassed. When i see someone at night i am usually left alone and people keep to themselves. Of course certain spots attract more dangerous people but i never had issies in the 5th district.

A small city with low to zero crime, you can feel safe alone at night in the city, Police is always patrolling, for a women i reckon its 95% safe, i have had zero issues and the police is fast to act if something ever happens
