Nice calm city but on Sundays everything is closed so be aware of that. I was there with my bestie both feel safe uber was safe as well only the Main Street was a bit scary bc of party people. Zürich is very expensive but so pretty. I recommend you to visit rheinfalls

I traveled to Switzerland on my own and really enjoyed the experience. The country is incredibly beautiful, very clean and well organized, and I always felt safe as a solo traveler. Nature, cities and infrastructure are impressive. However, compared to German standards, Switzerland is definitely expensive, especially public transportation. Still, it was absolutely worth it and I would recommend it, particularly for solo trips.

It was great. It was never enough. I went there twice and plan third. So there are many things to do. Especially if you love nature. Every tipe of traveler can find something to do. Hiking, skiing, canoeing, swimming, walking, climbing... Expensive tho.

Super safe, from my personal experience and the area I was in people didn't even lock their doors but this might be a bit uncommon still reflects the attitude around general safety. Even at night the streets are safe and a local even helped to jumpstart the car!

Very safe it's a small village with a small ski resort and not a lot of people. The population is friendly and very easy going. They are always willing to help. In my years of living here I've never witnessed a major crime.

People are a bit shy but nice and helpful. Everyone respects the others. The roads are safe, lots of shops and the home are secure too. It’s also a very clean country and the air feels fresh. If u need an advice, just ask somebody. People speaks English good there.

Hello, I'm graphic designer and illustrator, I'm Syrian living in Switzerland since 2020, I live in Puidoux near a beautiful region between Lausanne and Vevey called Lavaux, where you can see hills of vineyards along lake Léman (Geneva lake)... I'm new here with "Travel Ladies" and I'm happy to host a traveler in my small apartment, where I live with my two adorable cats... No travel destination for the moment cause I'm attending a French course, hope in the summer I'll visit some places in Europe. Ladies, you're welcome to message me if you would like to visit Switzerland!
