Is Basel Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Basel

Basel has its areas for example the SBB railwaystation at night or Klybeck-Kleinhünningen-Claraplatz zones (kleinbasel) in general is most dangerous. there are the most drunk/ drugger people and prostitutes.

It is very safe. The only part that can be a bit dodgy is around the Claraplatz. There are some people that want to sell you drugs. Otherwise you are very safe, you do not have to worry about anything.

I think Basel is a safe place of course I would always be careful there are some places where I heard that they weren’t the best to walk alone. Around the claraplatz I wouldn’t be too long alone or juste be careful. Personally i never experienced anything

I think Basel is very safe, everywhere you go is light and most of the time there are people around. I feel safe when I walk home but still I have thoughts of course, but I have them everywhere. Many inhabitants are feeling safe in Basel!

There is a few creepy streets or places but evry thing else very safe. You can easaly avoid these places and if yor with somone then you are definatly save. Also if you need help you can easaly talk to a stranger and they would offer their help

very safe and calm city. there are a few small areas where there might be increased crime however even there I never exoerienced any issues apart from the occasional cat call. public transport is operating until late at night so you can move around safely

Basel is really safe if you don't intend to go to sketchy places, there might be some drunk people but they don't do any harm to you, maybe just talk bullshit or ask for money, as many people do so.. :)

As a woman anywhere I go I feel some kind of danger. I’m always cautious about anything and anyone I see, especially at night. But experiencing any type of assault in Basel is very unlikely. Places like the city center are always lit at night.

I feel like it is quite safe. Nevertheless, one always should be atleast kind of aware of their surroundings. Some areas, like the Badischer Bahnhof, Claraplatz or the Hafen are less safe than others. It is safe to use public transport, because there are security in the Trams that watch out!!

very safe city with open peoples. sometimes I leave things and they don’t get stolen, many people trust each others with their belongings. just look out for your bicycles and at night don’t go to the crappie places, stay at living places. :)

Solo travel

Basel is overall a very beautiful city and truly feels like a border town. The people are genuinely kind and helpful. However, Switzerland is unbelievably expensive. Since it’s a small city, you can explore all the main attractions in just two days, which is sufficient. Of course, I tried fondue and Swiss chocolate, as they’re famous there, and they were absolutely delicious—though, as I mentioned, incredibly pricey. Accommodation is also very expensive, but I was lucky to have a friend there, so I stayed with them. Overall, Basel is a safe and charming city.

Couple travel

We were in Basel for 2 days. Found the place to be expensive especially based on the foreign exchange rate...but we felt safe and loved the free public transport...it rained a lot but we still managed to walk the city..
