Such a beautiful place to walk around and visit, even though it wasn’t December, Austria definitely had the Christmas spirit all around the place, would definitely recommend if your intention is to go somewhere where they have loads of Xmas markets! (Rathausplatz)

Unfortunately the city is very expensive, but I felt very safe, even in the evening. I went for the Christmas markets, and the city was very welcoming and charming. You should keep in mind that there are many people during this period, but the city is quite well organized.

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 outside😂

It's safe to walk alone at night. Also in favoriten. But it can happen that men follow you or catcall you like everywhere else. Favoriten has a bad reputation but is not that bad in reality. Most of the time it is gang related so you're not getting involved as an "stranger". There are a few places i prefer not to stay at night alone but walking to the puplic transportation is just fine

It is a very safe place to be! I grew up in this village and never felt in danger or unsafe. Everyone is friendly, caring and willing to help. It’s a very quiet village, where barely any nightlife happens, exept in a few bars. It never happened that anyone being drunk bothered me while walking home at night - I felt very safe.

Very safe, maybee areas around U6 and Reumannplatz and Gumpendorferstrasse can be a little bit sus a night but it’s still perfectly fine to go out. I always feel fine going out alone at night. Nothing at all to worry about during the day and early night.

It is genereally same, there are a few spots I don't recommend to go to espacially at night, like Reumannplatz or to the Donauinsel. Also if you just do your thing it is likely that nobody is even looking at you. Vienna is a bit "grantig"(grumpy) as we say. It is mostly really chill tho. Have a nice visit.😁

Generally Vöcklabruck is very safe, however normal attentiveness at night for solo travelling women is always a good thing to have. Theft is extremly rare and can be avoided by watching your luggage.
