Alsergrund's district crime statistics, reported by meinbezirk.at in May 2025, show car break-ins nearly doubling from 38 to 69 cases between 2023 and 2024, while apartment burglaries stayed roughly stable around 105 cases and bicycle theft fell slightly. In August 2026 a Freedom Party (FPÖ) press statement circulated via the OTS wire cited police figures for around 20 business break-ins across Alsergrund and neighbouring Währing within a few weeks, attributing most to juvenile offenders — a party statement rather than neutral reporting, though based on cited police data. These are overwhelmingly property-crime trends (parked cars, businesses, apartments) rather than street-level offenses against pedestrians, and no documented incidents of violent or street crime affecting visitors turned up for Alsergrund. Daytime is unremarkable in press coverage; the documented rise in break-in activity is mainly relevant after dark and mostly to residents/car owners rather than a pedestrian-safety issue.

Frequently asked questions
Is Alsergrund (09. Bezirk) safe?
Wandroz currently rates Alsergrund (09. Bezirk) in Vienna as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Vienna at night. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Vienna publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Alsergrund (09. Bezirk) safe at night?
At night, Alsergrund (09. Bezirk) is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Vienna. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
