How safe is Interlaken?
Interlaken is a very safe place for anyone travelling solo. Never heard of anything bad happen to girls, boys, kids or elderly persons at all. I think the chances of being robbed are very low too but I recommend to keep an eye on your stuff anyway
Posted: June 15, 2025I would say, Interlaken is a very safe city. It has a lot of lights in the streets and a lot of bus- or taxi- transport posibilities. In the night, personaly, I feel not in danger and it is no problem to walk alone. Over all, Interlaken is a very safe city.
Posted: December 29, 2024Interlaken is a very safe city, also for female solo travelers! :) also public transport is very convenient and safe! Of course never leave your valuables unattended but other than that no worries :)
Posted: October 15, 2024It is quite save. You can easily walk around with a (female) friend everywhere at any time. The people here are very polite and if you would left something behind they make sure it comes back to you. As a queer person I feel okey walking down the streets

Interlaken was incredible! I only got to go for a few hours, but I already have plans to go back. The views are unmatched and I’d recommend it over any big city in Switzerland. It was very safe and small town feel.

It is a famous, touristic city, only one guy wanted my number but he didn't look like a local so I simply politely declined his request. It was the only "issue" I had during my trip, they try to approach tourists I guess too but overall everything was good and I didn't experience any inconvenience due to my solo traveling.
