Is Vienna Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Couple travel

I traveled Vienna with my partner in 2024. We stayed in an Airbnb right in the city centre — of course the location had us feeling a little uncomfortable going out late, just the two of us, but that’s an experience I assume I’d have in any big city at night :) We were very lucky — as <20 year olds, we could visit many museums for free, which made up for our housing and food being quite expensive in comparison to it at home :) All in all, I’d definitely recommend a visit, especially, when you’re, like us, interested in culture & under 20 :)

We felt very safe in Vienna, roaming around in the late hours at night. I came with my boyfriend. I really liked the architecture and I felt I was in a movie the whole time, everything was so beautiful, the moment we stepped around the city centre you did not need a map anymore, every 2 minutes you will find another breathtaking building or monument. I don't have food or restaurant recommendations bcz we mainly ate at McDonalds and at home. I spent 100€/day. We stayed in the Waldmullergasse something street, and it was very quiet all the time, we had a Billa supermarket right around the corner. As for the public transportation, we did not use it much, we mainly walked. From our house to the main attractions it was around 30-40 mins of walking.

I felt very safe in the city physically and also mentally, since the locals were quite friendly and helpful. The food didn’t meet my expectations but was still really good! I had a tight budget but still managed to enjoy many interesting activities, including visits to their illusion museum and the popular Das Loft restaurant. I’d suggest visiting the latter during sunset for spectacular views! I walked everywhere and didn’t use any transportation mode since the city is quite compact with an efficient infrastructure. As for the accommodation, I stayed at Hotel Stefanie and it was perfect with a nice room and location.

Group travel

We did an audiotour "Self-guided Walking Tour of the Vienna City" from Booking.com and used it for the three days we were in Vienna to everyday listen to new information about some attractions and really loved it. It was an easy way to really learn about Viennese history and see the layers of history the city has. We stayed in the Meininger Hotel Downtown Franz, and i would really recommend it. We slept in the dormitory room, and were pleasantly surprised at the privacy each bed offered and overall our experience was really good from the helpful and friendly staff to the nice guest kitchen and overall good vibe and easy stay. It was also on a walking distance from the city centre. Overall a super interesting city with lots of history and perfect for a weekend getaway, but didn't really vibe with the city as i have with some other places. The city itself didnt leave a mark in my heart and i wouldn't visit again although i really enjoyed our trip.

I had a wonderful time in Vienna! I felt completely safe throughout my stay. I highly recommend visiting the main landmarks as well as Prater, which was a fun experience. For two days, I spent around 100 euros in total. We stayed in an Airbnb, which was comfortable and convenient. To get around the city, we primarily used trams, which were efficient and easy to navigate. Vienna is a beautiful city with so much to offer, and I would love to visit again in the future!

I really love Vienna! It’s so beautiful and cosy city. It is also very international. I’ve been there few times and every single time I fall in love with the city over and over again! It’s very historical and green.

I went alone in Vienna and I actually felt really safe food and everything was great and also because I’m vegan so I found a lot of vegan places in Vienna that have great food and I have like a list on Google Maps so if anyone wants I can share it with you also I have a budget like 150 euro I was staying with a family so they’re like a distant family so it was better and I didn’t waste a lot of money and yeah also I think it’s very safe for a woman and it’s really nice and for activities I really never went for the nightlife even though I wanted to but I am planning on going this year to Vienna and I seen the nightlife. for transport I usually go around with the uban or buses like you can literally go anywhere like you go with uban and you go like from one side of the other side and there are they’re just like really okay with the prices and everything and the buses like you can get like a ticket for one week or a month or just depends on how much you stay in everything and you can get like a lot of to like you’re going to get a lot of to see from vienna and everything and plus you know the river is really nice so you can see that and you can go to the beach in summer

Vienna is awesome! I really recommend eating in the Centimeter - a great restaurant with reasonable prices and huuuge portions. Serves both local and European food, so that’s a plus! Besides the main attraction in Vienna (that I am sure that you know of) there are also cool jazz bars that are worth the visit. Very safe at night, didn’t have a problem with that. Great transportation system. 50 euros a day are enough in you plan to buy some stuff and to eat out but not it the most expensive places. If you plan on cooking, much less will do the work.

It was so fun but it was so fricking cold! We couldnt enjoy outside at all but every single thing we ve been was really fyn. It is really expensive though. Getting into touristic attractions took at least 100 euros

Vienna is a very safe city. Especially during the night there are a lot of people on the streets and I also feel very safe using public transport. I‘ve been living in Vienna for almost 3 years now and nothing has happened before.

I'd say fairly save. Walking alone after dark might be scary in some places so always try to stick to a group if you can. But during the day you'd have very little to worry about, at least to my experience.
