You can purchase tickets for public transportation at ticket machines located at subway stations and major tram stops, or use the Vienna City Card for unlimited travel on public transportation and discounts at museums, attractions, and restaurants. Alternatively, you can explore Vienna on foot, as many of its attractions are located within walking distance of each other.
Vienna is generally a safe city for travelers, but it's essential to take common-sense precautions to ensure your safety. Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded tourist areas and on public transportation, and keep your belongings secure at all times. Avoid carrying large sums of cash or valuable items, and be cautious when using ATMs or exchanging money. It's also a good idea to research your accommodation options and choose reputable hotels or guesthouses in safe neighborhoods.
The best time to visit Vienna depends on your preferences and interests. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are ideal, with mild weather and fewer crowds.
