Warnings Or Dangers: Drunk and drugged people
  • Tip Rating:
  • Although Vienna seems safe city, one shouldn't take it for granted. There are just too many people in Vienna and not all of them are well intentioned. Some places are not appealing especially during the night. Toilet at Stephansplatz U-Bahn station was always occupied by extremely drunk homeless people sleeping there. There are similarly destroyed people in Stephansplatz U-Bahn station. I had bad feeling about Stadtpark too. Also most of the U-Bahn stations become place you'd like to avoid during weekend nights. I was surprised how many people get drunk, then. Area I didn't like at all during the night is Praterstern. I visited all of these places alone, and never had any problems. But my suggestion is - if you walk Vienna during the night, have company. At least you'll feel better.

  • If you decide to try Danube near Copa Kagrana, be aware that water is not clear at all, actually it has color of mud, so once you enter you won't be able so see your legs. Brrr. I didn't find it appealing at all.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Entrance to Bermuda triangle
  • Tip Rating:
  • Vienna - Entrance to Bermuda triangle

  • Those stairs are leading to Bermuda triangle, area known for many small pubs. They say that people get lost in these pubs during the night, therefore maybe it is better to avoid those stairs? Otherwise you might be risking to get drunk!!!

     Actually, the drug users, homeless etc. you quoted in warnings can not only be found in the areas mentioned but even in University. Just in case somebody decides to study in Wien :)
