Family travel
Geneva is lovely. I felt pretty safe there, everyone was just minding their own business. Everything is quite expensive. There are lots of things to do, many luxury shops, you can walk/cycle around the Léman lake... I recommend the Botanical Garden of Geneva, which is amazing and 100% free!

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.

Super safe The best place to go out alone or enjoy doing some activities outdoors You have a lot of options to chose. So no problem if you want to come and visit. But always keep safe your belongings
Posted: November 3, 2025Geneva is very safe overall. Never experienced problems in public transportation. Walking in the city during the night feels safe if you keep out from the red neighbourhood and from behind the main train station.

I have rarely been unsafe or felt harassed.in my city. I can take public transportation with any worry. When it was dark, I can go out alone or with girl friends and never been assaulted, even late at night when getting out of night clubs, etc.

About me
Born in Brazil, raised in Switzerland. Social worker by day, curious human always. I love traveling, good conversations, live music, and discovering places (and people) that feel real. Usually found outdoors, at a concert, wandering around a new city, or hanging out with my two cats. Always up for sharing stories, coffee, or a spontaneous plan.
