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
Posted: August 25, 2025I 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
Posted: August 9, 2025Beautiful, 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.

Vienna is a beautiful city and I felt really safe when I visited there. The signs are clear and the transportation is really convenient. If you forget to by ticket before you get in the car, most of the trains have machines. You can buy it immediately.
Posted: July 22, 2025I loved Vienna! I went with my boyfriend and visited all the Christmas markets as well as a few ballets in the Opera! It was very cold so I recommend dressing in layers if you visit during winter since I got frostbite

None of the inappropriate encounters I had here compare to what happened to me in any other city: a "no" was always enough, the population outside at night has a good enough man/woman ratio and the transportation is safe. Here you can go to the bus driver and tell them you aren't safe : I have once been in a tram where the driver kicked a guy out after a woman said something. I do go out at night. But to be fair: I never go to Meidling and Favoriten. I also think that my skin colour and my very simple clothing style do not attract the attention of mean intended men.
