I visited Vienna and absolutely loved the atmosphere! It’s such a beautiful city perfect for walking around enjoying a coffee and discovering cute little places. And meeting random people at the street and become ur friends. I’d love to go back someday!

Only had one full day here, but managed to see a lot. The city was beautiful! There was no end to the huge, gorgeous buildings, and many nice gardens as well. Some of the things we wanted to see was closed that day, but still overall a very good experience!

I lived near Innsbruck for 6 months. I would love to go back forever. Food is healthy, amazing city and activities. Perfect for alternative energy. Snowboarding, skiing, hiking nearly all year. Really nice people and a great vibe

I had a feeling about Vienna. Many friends of mine spoke very fondly of the city and the Billy Joel song consolidated the promise only further. And it’s safe to say that my expectations were blown through the roof! Throughout the day and the night I felt very comfortable and present, in a way. The city holds up to its clean, white facade reputation. I took walks at night and I wasn’t bothered. I would pass by a couple or two from now and then. Strangers in the night.

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.

It’s so safe that I would go clubbing in my mini skirt without taking a second pants with me. I would go jogging at 5 in the morning. People treat you with respect and take care of each others. It was my safest time ever

Generally speaking pretty safe, especially touristy areas. Not much pickpocketing and public transport during the day is really safe, just keep an eye out for weird looking people during the night. 10th district is known for being rather unsafe, as well as Praterstern. At night, actually being at Vienna Central Station or inside the Prater isn't unsafe most of the time, the areas around are where you should be careful.

Linz is pretty save in my opinion. I would say you should not be scared to walk alone outside. However, always take care who you trust and what you tell people who you don‘t know at all. But all in all, Linz is a nice and safe place for sure!

Its very safe. I live here for many years and I never saw or heard about negative experience. I dont know anybody who got hurt here ir robed or anything. The only thing I know is that in the 10th district especially around Reumannplatz it can get a bit uncomfortable at night. Groups of men or alcoholics would hang around there.

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
