vienna being “one of the safest cities” is absolute BS
Ive been in vienna for 6 days, and yes I know the people here aren’t particularly friendly, but the amount of shameless stares I have received as a 16 year old girl is absolutely disgusting and ridiculous!! I’ve never felt more uncomfortable and unsafe as a girl in my entire life. One particularly surprising incident was when I was sitting down on the tram with my mum next to me, when a grown man came and stood directly over me and his eyes were completely fixated down my top. My mum later told me that she was looking back at him- giving him a “what the hell do u think you’re doing” kind of look. Here in vienna, men just stare at me with ZERO shame, like even when i catch them staring they dont stop!! It’s awful, and I live in the UK where this has never memorably happened to me.
