Vienna, Solo travel
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

I felt safe in Vienna, not extremely but it was ok, the only problem I found in this city was that during August when I visited there wasn’t much to do, most places were closed, and there wasn’t many people around mostly tourists, that’s why I felt like it wasn’t the most authentic experience I’ve had

Beautiful, beautiful city! I felt very safe in it (even taking night buses - I can’t really remember of a bad experience). I am from Italy, personally I found it expensive but a wonderful place to stay in and enjoy. Lots of wonderful museums, beautiful cathedrals and if you can travel a bit further from the city centre, you’ll find out its wonderful there too. Safety was awesome, place was awesome. I found food was good! A bit above average, in a good way. I enjoyed the traditional food I ate (not only schnitzels!) but I wouldn’t rank Vienna at the top of my gastronomical ranking. Still good tho.

My friends and I went to Hallstatt in April. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful place! There were many tourists even though it wasn’t peak season. Still, it was a great trip and we really enjoyed it! 😆

I’ve been living in Vienna for about 15 years now, and I usually feel safe — it’s a pretty safe city overall. Of course, like any big city, there are some areas I’d rather avoid as a woman, especially at night. But overall, I love the feeling of walking around, exploring the streets, and enjoying the city without constant worry.

Graz is a safe city for women to walk alone, as long as you don’t walk alone in parks very late at night. It has a young atmosphere with many students, and the city is very safe. However, no place is 100% safe, so always stay cautious.

I can work comfortably alone at any time, even in dark suspicious tunnels. I have never seen public violence or seen men harrasing women. Just once a drunk guy said sth to me as he passed me by on a crowd.

Compared to all other big cities in Europe for me Vienna is the safest city. I have lived and traveled other big cities in Europe too, so i guess for me best one would be Vienna, Köln was also not bad travelled few times

It’s really nice even to walk after dark. Most people are nice, smiling and also can help you as a tourist. Most of them know English. You just need to avoid some places with cheep street food like kebabs and some stations during the night, like “landstrace”. And that’s all, I think!
