Stayed for 5 days, didn’t know how to travel back then but most of my travel was museums and parks and of course the Danub river and flea market. The history is rush and the buildings architecture is wonderful

Vienna surprised me alot. It was stunning, definitely one of my favorite cities. I was solo and felt very safe. The food was also very good. Public transport easy to navigate. Would recommend having food in a park on the grass or just enjoy time there.

I went to hallstatt on train and it was the best thing ever! The view was amazing. And the village was beyond perfection. There was little hike and great views. It was crowded but not loud or dirty. The village was safe and clean. Souvenirs was bit expensive but not a big deal. You can buy salts as a great souvenir

It was a very pleasent stay with two of my kids at a place catsitting. Nice city and trips to the surrounding nature with hills, caves and this fancy cathedral. We went to the cityhill with the towerclock and went downhill on a slide. That was fun.

Stopped here for two days on a longer solo train trip through Eastern Europe and had an amazing time! Loved (and highly recommend) the cafe culture. Bring a book and relax. There’s no pressure to leave. Actually getting my server to bring my check so I could pay and leave was challenging lol Wonderful people with an easy to navigate metro system. Go to a classical concert and ride the world’s oldest Ferris wheel!

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.

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)

Vienna
Vienna is a very safe city. It‘s no problem to walk alone at night as a woman. Most streets are lit bright all night long and the general criminality rate is quite low. I‘ve never had any safety problems.

Kitzbühel is generally a very safe place, and you really don’t need to worry about exploring the town on your own. 🫶🏼 I feel comfortable walking around alone, even in the evening. During big events like the Hahnenkamm Races, the town can get extremely busy and crowded. At those times, I’d recommend going out with someone else if possible, especially at night. But overall, being on your own is totally fine too. In general, Kitzbühel feels very safe, relaxed and welcoming – just use the same...

Vienna is pretty safe. I never had something stolen or anything like that. Still you shouldn’t just leave your things alone in public (even though some people do). At night it should be save too, but I still am always careful, just in case.

Overall very safe, sometimes weird teenboys and drunks at night in the trainstation but no one has ever been hurt so far! Sometimes also weird people on Shubertplatz and the czech border but also nothing ever happened there! :)

For me vienna seems a pretty save city . Of cause the U-Bahn at night are scarry but that is normal. Around the main Touristic Places you have to watch out for your personal belongings of cause more so when you walk around the 1 District you should keep more an eye

Vienna is one of the safest cities I have lived in. The overall feeling of safety is part of the city/country. I and the people I asked have not yet been victim of any assault. I would recommend travelling
