Vienna, Group travel

It was fun. We saw museums and zoo and we were walking around, but it was quite expensive. It was on September so it was a little cold. The landscape was beautiful and worth to see. A lot of people are around.

Graz

I think as a local, that Graz is very safe, only at Night in some Parks you Need to take care of drugdealers. The Area around postgarage is a Little Bit creepy as a Woman.

Vienna

I am a student studying abroad in Vienna, and I have never felt safer in a city before. I have walked alone at night and felt very safe by my school (District 1) and where I live (District 5). I heard the area around Ottakring can be dangerous at night, so I have never been there. Of course, still be on alert when traveling solo, but overall the districts close to the center of the city are extremely safe.

Tyrol

Let's say its 90% safe, but for sure like every other places at night still be aware. It also depends where you are in valleys/ villages the rate is lower compared to bigger cities like Innsbruck. At daylight you can feel 99% safe..

About me

Hey, My name is Inga I am a 23 year old student from Germany. I love travelling, especially for nature and animals and try to make my travels as sustainable and low budget as possible. I also like to explore cities and new cultures, especially food 🤭 I am vegetarian, and like to read and try out different sports. Learning from locals about the best spots and their history is the best way to get to know places. Hope to meet some nice people here :)
