How safe is Fribourg?

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

About Me

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.
