Vienna, Solo travel
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 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

One 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.

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

Vienna
Vienna is generally very safe. At night, it’s good to avoid the Prater park and Praterstern area, but otherwise it’s a safe city. Don’t fall for sob stories in train stations (“train fare” needed, fake pregnancies, people asking for directions and crowding you …), those are professional scammers. Bolt taxis offer a female driver service if needed.

I have done each of these things and nothing ever happened but let’s say the train station has some homeless people at night, I wouldn’t go chill in parks at night either, the volksgarten is known for the drug dealers that chill there… well and dark streets without light is also a no. Under daylight no reason to feel uncomfortable, even at night it’s quite okay, but trust your guts!!

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.

Overall very safe. I would be a bit worried at night, but chances of something dangerous are very little. No pickpocketing or something like that. Public transportation is safe as well. People driving very safely

About me
Heyy! I’m Aylin, 24 years old, and I quit my job in August 2024 to travel the world.🌍 I’m always curious about new countries and cultures. I’m a nature lover, a foodie, and always up for a little adventure! So far, this journey has brought me some unforgettable moments—like seeing Angkor Wat in real life or diving with sharks in the Philippines. But honestly, my favorite memories come from the amazing locals I’ve met along the way, who welcomed me into their everyday lives and gave me a deeper understanding of their culture.✨ I’m a mix of adventure-seeker and quiet soul. I love meaningful conversations and genuine connections, though I’m also quite introverted and appreciate some quiet time now and then. Partys and alcohol are not my thing. I’d describe myself as empathetic, respectful, easygoing, and tidy. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers!🌞

Hi :) I‘m Christina and 21 years old!🫧 I’m extremely organized, super spontaneous, and adventurous. I love being out in nature, and I’m a big fan of “marmalade-jar moments.”🫙✨ I enjoy traveling on a small budget and so far I’ve always traveled with friends. 🧳 Fun Fact: On almost all of my trips, my red Crocs with Pumbaa (from The Lion King) come along with me — as you can see in some of the photos. ;) 🐽🐗
