Where is Sievering?
Sievering is in Vienna's 19th district (Döbling), postal code 1190.
How safe is Sievering?
Safety in Sievering: Excellent (9.2/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.
Is Sievering dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Sievering sits at 9.2 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.
How good is public transport in Sievering?
Public transport in Sievering: Excellent (8.0/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).
Is Sievering noisy?
Quiet in Sievering: Excellent (9.5/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. The noise sits at the edge along Sieveringer Straße — away from it you notice little. At night it calms down noticeably — the level drops below the threshold at which mapping begins. And part of it officially counts among Vienna's designated quiet areas ("Landschaftsschutzgebiet Döbling").
How hot does Sievering get in summer?
In summer Sievering is cool — cooler than the Vienna average. Heat index 39 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Green cover, trees and open, low building form let the night cool down. This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
How green is Sievering?
