Is Geneva Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Geneva

Honestly everyone is just so nice!!!! I don’t know french so i was worried when I first came here and couldn’t understand some things, but everyone was helpful and knew English well; they helped me at the grocery store, trains; even in the streets when i got lost!

Most places are okay, you can comfortably walk around without worrying about someone stealing your bag or phone. There are just a few neighbourhood I wouldn't go to alone at night, like near the train station.

I've lived in Geneva all my life and it's a really safe city, as a girl you can walk alone at night without any problems, it's really chill and safe there is no places that you need to avoid or anything.

Quite safe, haven't experienced incidents that have made me unsafe. I would avoid Grottes (drug peddlers), Paquis(red light area) and the area around the station at night if you're alone, it's a bit shady.

Geneva is one of the safest cities I’ve ever been to. I saw homeless people maybe twice for 6 months. I felt completely safe when I had to travel during the night time from the train station to my house.

Geneva Is safe but it’s a bigger city and Switzerland and it’s touristic so must be careful with valuable things if you have a lot of money Just to be careful when you are a women and it’s the middle of the night

To me Geneva is very safe, but as a lady I always look out at night but definitely not more than somewhere else! There are some places such as the main train station where I don’t like to be alone at night, but for the most I feel very safe.

I am quite new here and still getting to know the city. But if I need to be out in the dark in any part of the city, I have not and will likely never think twice. Truly lives to its name of International Geneva.

Geneva is very safe, there are parts of the town that are safer but it's generally very safe. It's a bit more dangerous around the train station and when we get closer to Annemasse (France) too. We often see the police even at night. The public transport does not work between 2 and 4 A.M.

Geneva is a city where safety is a constant. Even walking home late at night through areas some might consider “sketchy,” I’ve never felt harassed, threatened, or worried about theft. It’s truly reassuring.

Couple travel

Tip stay in france at the border. Annemasse is pretty close to geneva by tram and also by train. We used the tram. Restaurents and supermarkets are much cheaper. I love the botanical garden at geneva.

Solo travel

Genava is my Hub, as far as I'm using easyjet (whuch is the cheapest one to fly from Egypt. I used to fly to GVA since August 1999 and I stayed there for the last 7 years as a UN accredited correspondant for Al-Ahram daily news paper. I have many friends there and I used to stay in their houses before heading to my destination in Europe.
