I loved Vienna. I felt very safe, almost "at home" like. All encounters with others were nice. I weren't scared to go out alone. It's beautiful there, I recommend it to you so much! There's many cool places to visit.
Posted: April 26, 2025It was really beautiful. It was a bit uncomfortable in the street me and my friend were sleeping in tho. There were rats and many drug addicts that I had to yell at to go away. Really annoying. It is like that on the other side of the train station. It was really weird. But other parts of the city were alright. At night too.
Posted: April 26, 2025Experienced: January, 2025I traveled Vienna with my partner in 2024. We stayed in an Airbnb right in the city centre — of course the location had us feeling a little uncomfortable going out late, just the two of us, but that’s an experience I assume I’d have in any big city at night :) We were very lucky — as <20 year olds, we could visit many museums for free, which made up for our housing and food being quite expensive in comparison to it at home :) All in all, I’d definitely recommend a visit, especially, when you’re, like us, interested in culture & under 20 :)
Posted: April 24, 2025We felt very safe in Vienna, roaming around in the late hours at night. I came with my boyfriend. I really liked the architecture and I felt I was in a movie the whole time, everything was so beautiful, the moment we stepped around the city centre you did not need a map anymore, every 2 minutes you will find another breathtaking building or monument. I don't have food or restaurant recommendations bcz we mainly ate at McDonalds and at home. I spent 100€/day. We stayed in the Waldmullergasse something street, and it was very quiet all the time, we had a Billa supermarket right around the corner. As for the public transportation, we did not use it much, we mainly walked. From our house to the main attractions it was around 30-40 mins of walking.

I felt very safe in the city physically and also mentally, since the locals were quite friendly and helpful. The food didn’t meet my expectations but was still really good! I had a tight budget but still managed to enjoy many interesting activities, including visits to their illusion museum and the popular Das Loft restaurant. I’d suggest visiting the latter during sunset for spectacular views! I walked everywhere and didn’t use any transportation mode since the city is quite compact with an efficient infrastructure. As for the accommodation, I stayed at Hotel Stefanie and it was perfect with a nice room and location.

We did an audiotour "Self-guided Walking Tour of the Vienna City" from Booking.com and used it for the three days we were in Vienna to everyday listen to new information about some attractions and really loved it. It was an easy way to really learn about Viennese history and see the layers of history the city has. We stayed in the Meininger Hotel Downtown Franz, and i would really recommend it. We slept in the dormitory room, and were pleasantly surprised at the privacy each bed offered and overall our experience was really good from the helpful and friendly staff to the nice guest kitchen and overall good vibe and easy stay. It was also on a walking distance from the city centre. Overall a super interesting city with lots of history and perfect for a weekend getaway, but didn't really vibe with the city as i have with some other places. The city itself didnt leave a mark in my heart and i wouldn't visit again although i really enjoyed our trip.
Posted: March 9, 2025Experienced: September, 2024I had a wonderful time in Vienna! I felt completely safe throughout my stay. I highly recommend visiting the main landmarks as well as Prater, which was a fun experience. For two days, I spent around 100 euros in total. We stayed in an Airbnb, which was comfortable and convenient. To get around the city, we primarily used trams, which were efficient and easy to navigate. Vienna is a beautiful city with so much to offer, and I would love to visit again in the future!

I really love Vienna! It’s so beautiful and cosy city. It is also very international. I’ve been there few times and every single time I fall in love with the city over and over again! It’s very historical and green.

I went alone in Vienna and I actually felt really safe food and everything was great and also because I’m vegan so I found a lot of vegan places in Vienna that have great food and I have like a list on Google Maps so if anyone wants I can share it with you also I have a budget like 150 euro I was staying with a family so they’re like a distant family so it was better and I didn’t waste a lot of money and yeah also I think it’s very safe for a woman and it’s really nice and for activities I really never went for the nightlife even though I wanted to but I am planning on going this year to Vienna and I seen the nightlife. for transport I usually go around with the uban or buses like you can literally go anywhere like you go with uban and you go like from one side of the other side and there are they’re just like really okay with the prices and everything and the buses like you can get like a ticket for one week or a month or just depends on how much you stay in everything and you can get like a lot of to like you’re going to get a lot of to see from vienna and everything and plus you know the river is really nice so you can see that and you can go to the beach in summer
Posted: March 1, 2025Vienna is awesome! I really recommend eating in the Centimeter - a great restaurant with reasonable prices and huuuge portions. Serves both local and European food, so that’s a plus! Besides the main attraction in Vienna (that I am sure that you know of) there are also cool jazz bars that are worth the visit. Very safe at night, didn’t have a problem with that. Great transportation system. 50 euros a day are enough in you plan to buy some stuff and to eat out but not it the most expensive places. If you plan on cooking, much less will do the work.

Vienna is a very lovely city with a lot of security at train stations. Sometimes at the stations of public transportation or in public transportation you’ll see homeless people that are a lil bit aggressive but as long as you keep your distance its okay. If going out after dark go only short ways alone & if longer ways try to go with someone you know. So in a nutshell i do feel safe in vienna but i wouldn’t go out alone after dark. Stay safe 💗

Vienna is in general quite safe, I personally haven’t experienced any situation where I felt in danger. The only places where there might be some risks are some stations during night, but overall the city is very safe.
