Is Vienna Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I was meant to go to Vienna with a friend but she unfortunately couldn’t make the trip, so I decided to carry on the trip solo and I am so glad I did. Vienna is one of the safest places I’ve travelled solo, and even better, I made friends along the way. The baroque architecture is gorgeous and I would definitely want to live here. As for the food, went for a delicious vegan Wiener Schnitzel for dinner upon my arrival and then had a Käsespätzle the next day for lunch. I recommend going for a city tour and then checking out one of the museums. Belvedere Palace is a must, a lovely museum inside and out. Even though I went in January, the weather was mild albeit windy. I’d still recommend going during that time as well if you’re looking for a winter city break getaway!

I felt safe in Vienna,mostly a calm city. If you are gonna visit for the first time, easy choice. But if you are a little bit adventurous, can be unsuitable. Except that, great buildings, museums and bakeries. Easy to get around,download a map,you will be find,easy to get a sim card.

Solo travel experience

I went on a 2 day solo trip to vienna, and overall it was a very safe experience. I did have some issues with communication sometimes because the people i interacted with mostly spoke only german. i also went clubbing alone and even that was very safe. i went to the history museum and i stayed at a hostel and also went to a famous Irish pub in the city and got treated really well by everyone. i would genuinely recommend going to Vienna alone!

Super safe! Delicious pizza (try l’osteria and piazza colombo!) German is a bit hard but most people speak English. The prater is worth a visit. Bring cash! Hostels are also readily available and surprisingly good. I stayed at multiple.

Group travel experience

I felt safe as i travelled with my girlfriends, but if i haven't i wouldn't have stayed too late out in the streets. After 10 pm, the whole city was dead and we couldn't find many places that were open. And it was extremely cold in april, and we struggled a lot out in that cold weather.

Solo travel experience

Vienna is like a fairy tale princess City with lots of castles and gardens and just beautiful scenery. It's priced quite high for everything though. Restaurants and shopping were pretty expensive so I just went to the grocery store and bought sandwich ingredients and fruits to eat throughout the day. It's very clean and safe to be there and I stayed at a hostel in a female dorm and met some really cute amazing women to explore and continue travels with!

Group travel experience

I visited Vienna recently with my best friend. We stayed at a small airbnb and roamed around the city. I think it depends on the place where u are but we felt a bit unsafe when it came to being outside. We went to museums and the huge luna park in the middle of the city which i fully recommend!!!

Solo travel experience

I felt very safe the whole time. 4 days were more than enough to see all I wanted. The Christmas markets are very worth visiting more for the experience than the shopping per se. The city center is quite small so you can walk almost everywhere with little effort but public transportation is widely available and easy to use.

Solo travel experience

Vienna was amazing for a solo traveler, especially for someone who loves art and museums. I was there only for 3 days and from the morning till the night i was walking around and visiting museums. The city is magnificent. I stayed at female hostel, and the experience was amazing. It was my first solo travel, and i felt safe, inspite of the fact that city was full of tourists…

I don‘t know why but I feel like it‘s always sunny in Vienna! (Even in the coldest october) The pictures were taken by my analog camera when I visited a good friend last october. I always felt safe in the city and even though it‘s a big city it doesn‘t feel like it. I can highly recommend, it‘s a really beautiful city.🌞

Vienna is overall a very safe city. I just avoid some areas at night (e.g. around train stations, dark parks or tunnels) just because it feels sketchy, and taking precautions is natural to me as I lived in less safer contries before but here I don't fear for my safety in general terms. Occasionally you might see someone going nuts in public areas (e.g. yelling out of the blue, not being clear to whom or why) and it can feel a bit scary but it's usually cases of a special psychological condition and they don't attack or anything bad if you aren't interacting with them so not really a problem.

It really depends where you are who you are with and who you are yourself and on so many factors but in general I feel safe during the day in the nice neighborhoods for sure! But Vienna is the most livable city in the world ranking multiple years already and there's a YouTube video also on that how this is measured so safety is a part of the parameters so you can imagine!

For me is Vienna a little bit overated. I was on concert with my female friends and we stay in Vienna for 2 night. The city is pretty, but food and drinks are too expensive. Transfer by taxi is so expensive so I recommend metro.

Family travel experience

easy to reach. Museums cost between 10-20€. It may be expensive if you eat in famous places, but I think it is worth a try. This was my second time going and I had so much fun. You can find cheap opera tickets on the ticket gretchen app. I went to the ballet show for 5€.
