Vienna is one of the safest cities in the world. At night it's not uncommon to see women
walking home alone or elderly people walking
dogs or using public transport. Tourists
normally only experience petty crime, such as
pickpocketing or the very rare money scam.
There are, however, a few places to avoid,
especially at night. Karlsplatz U-bahn Station is a well known spot for drugs and drug addicts, as is
the Prater and Praterstern, and Mexikoplatz is
supposedly a black-market centre. Südtirolerplatz, the S-Bahn and tram stations along
Margareten- and Wieder Gürtel can be a little unnerving after dark.
