Is Switzerland safe to travel?

Solo travel experience
This is one of the absolute safest countries I’ve traveled to so far. Even though it lives to its standard of being expensive — it is so worth to visit it for endless hikes. I would recommend either getting Swiss travel pass or Interrail pass for Switzerland, because it can (and probably will be) cheaper than travelling with trains otherwise. And travelling on trains in Switzerland is not only amazingly convenient way to access most hikes, but the trains themselves — modern, comfortable and definitely on time. However, keeping in mind prices in Switzerland (especially hiking spots) — I highly suggest bringing your own food or getting pre made meals in Coop.

Last year, which was 2023, I visited Switzerland more than once. I had short stays in the span of 2 to upto 3 months for couple of days since I'm a concert pianist and taking many master classes across entire Switzerland. As someone who also used to live in Geneva for 5 years my experience is a vast one. Switzerland? What to say? If you are travelling solo or decide to live solo there is no safer place. Whereveryou go, you feel free and protected. However, that comes with a price. Yes, Switzerland is extremely expensive but as well offers many opportunities earn a decent living. As for the travel there are always variants and ways to stash some money and not spend as much as commercial society dictates via local cheap hostels or couch surfing. In Switzerland people are very polite and still can transmit that long forgotten European flare of life and culture. Food? 😁 One has to be honest and admit that national cuisine is not a very rich or tasty one, but with so many international restaurants you will surely not suffer! Of course, common supermarkets offer everything and beyond. Nature is absolutely astonishing and traveling through Switzerland to see it, is worth every penny and every second! So, if you are respectful towards others, have good manners, are hard-working and on top of everything a polyglot (preferably German, French; but English is spoken everywhere 😉) then pack your things and book your next trip to the land of cheese, lakes, mountains and watches!

Everything is extremely expensive, particularly the train tickets. Public transport is great and extremely punctual. I found the people to be nice. On Sundays, only the restaurants open; no stores or markets are open. So, you can only walk and take stroll. I liked Bern more than Zurich. I found it more beautiful and with fewer modern constructions.
