Fribourg is a small city but if you’re a women and go home after dark you’ll probably get catcall, never had any other problems tho. I wouldn’t recommend staying in places like the train station where it’s worse. Fribourg is quite “rural” and some people are close minded so if you have a non conforming appearance you might get some looks or comments. Otherwise it’s a nice city, the old town is charming.

For me it’s a safe place never had any problem walking home alone. Also I have a dog so I often go on walks late at night and never had any problem never been afraid of anything or anyone so I would say it’s pretty safe
Posted: January 25, 2025It's a city where you will easily find yourself alone in a street at night as it's not very busy. It's usually quite safe but at night in the dog, it can be stressful. Other than that, transportations are safe, public space are safe too. And during the day, you have nothing to worry about.

As in mostly everywhere in Switzerland, it is very safe compared to other countries. Of course there are a few places and times where I don’t feel as safe as a woman on her own, like at night around the train station when some drunk people hang out there, but I always take public transport and walk home without any issue.

Fribourg is a beautiful, peaceful little town located in the center of Switzerland, everyone is simple and friendly here. There is the old town located in a valley on the banks of the river, where you can grill or picnic and the more modern town above

Hi, I’m Sophie. I’ve always loved travelling and recently discovered the joy of solo travelling. A few years ago, I lived in Auckland, New Zealand for a year and then travelled around the world for 14 months. Since April 2024, I’m travelling around Europe in my camper van while working remotely until at least the end of 2025. My plan is to visit Ireland, Norway, Italy, Scotland, Wales, Iceland, Spain and Portugal.
