Vienna（German: Wien) is the capital of Austria. Vienna is by far the most populous city in Austria (about 1.7 million), and it is also the country's cultural, economic and political center. Because Austria was the headquarters of the Habsburg dynasty and many of its empires in the Middle Ages, Vienna still retains many of the characteristics of the capital of the dynasty. In view of the cultural characteristics of Vienna’s history, UNESCO has listed it asWorld Heritageone.

Safety
In terms of its size as a city, Vienna is one of the safest cities in the world. Tourists can visit and play with confidence in every corner of the city. Generally speaking, as long as you abide by the general education and rules of words and deeds, no matter you visit any part of the city at any time, you will not have any safety concerns. At night, if it is not necessary, it is best to avoid hanging around in parks or near stations such as Karlsplatz and Schwedenplatz. Especially in the vicinity of Karlsplatz, some drug addicts gather during the day, but they will not disturb the passengers, so if you ignore them, they won't bother you. Near Prater Amusement Park, it is said that the night is more restless. Most of them refer to thieves, so just like when you travel in other countries in the world, please pay attention to guard against thieves when taking public transportation facilities (such as trains or subways) . There is no racial discrimination problem in Vienna, but slogans or graffiti that are hostile to black people are occasionally seen on the street or near public transportation facilities. There are sometimes prostitutes in the vicinity of Prater and Westbahnhof, and single female travelers passing by at night may feel unsafe.
