Travelling alone in Vienna I felt really safe! I never experience night life in this case however I did everything by foot including walking home alone when it started to be nighttime and I always felt good. Museums are great, many stuff to see about Klimt, the city is really pretty, the churches and parks too; however coming from France the *french* bakery looked catastrophic from the outsideš
Posted: November 12, 2025It was a really nice trip. I could admire the beautiful architecture of Vienna, I especially loved the Hundertwasserhaus, since he's a very admirable architect with a beautiful and inventive mind. but. one is for sure. The prices are overwhelming. I also didn't like the bus system. It was almost impossible to pay with card even when the system said otherwise
Posted: November 8, 2025Experienced: April, 2025One 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.
Posted: September 27, 2025I 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 wasnāt much to do, most places were closed, and there wasnāt many people around mostly tourists, thatās why I felt like it wasnāt the most authentic experience Iāve had

I feel very safe when I go out in vienna. But still, you should always be aware of your surroundings, as you should be everywhere. When you go out at night you probably will see some strange people. If you stay aware and don't let them get to close, it should be fine. As a 21 year old woman, Im often on my way home late at night and alone, I even feel save enough to listen to music.

Iāve been living in Vienna for about 15 years now, and I usually feel safe ā itās a pretty safe city overall. Of course, like any big city, there are some areas Iād 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.
Posted: October 27, 2025Compared 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, Kƶln was also not bad travelled few times

Itās 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 ālandstraceā. And thatās all, I think!

Iām aware of my surroundings when Iām walking around in the dark which makes me feel a lot more confident. Iāve lived here since 2019 and had some men being inappropriate with cat calling or forcingly talking to me. Iām a bit extra aware when Iām around the U-Bahn Station Westbahnhof or Gumpendorfer StraĆe as these are hotspots for people addicted to substances.
