Never Let Your Guard Down
While Austria is considered quite safe, you should never let your guard down nonetheless. The bigger cities, especially those that have more tourists, still have petty thieves and crime that occurs, especially at night. These felons can also tell a tourist from a local, and they will target these visitors knowing that they normally carry more cash than a regular resident. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry so do yourself a favor and always watch your back.
