Is Lausanne Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Lausanne

Lausanne is quite safe. You can walk down the street as a woman very safely. People are caring after others so I will never feel alone. You just have to avoid some places but it’s still fine (in front of the train station during the night, or the park)

Lausanne is a super safe place, Switzerland is but Lausanne in particular. It’s a place for young people and there is a lot of police presence in town so everyone can walk around safely! I’ve lived there for my hole life and I never had even a single incident or a guy come to me in the street.

Very chill and safe city in Switzerland. During the day there’s no safety precautions to take. Just two places I don’t recommend as a solo female in the dark : Chaudron and place de la Riponne because of drugs users (not dangerous but unpredictable)

It’s a pretty safe city! Comparing to other countries, Switzerland is very safe in general. But we still experience sexual harassment and a little bit of robbery in Lausanne. There are some drug dealers and homeless people in particular spots in Lausanne, it can be disturbing, but they’re harmless, they can just ask you for money sometimes.

Lausanne is a safe city for women. Of course it can’t be 100% safe because dangerous men can be everywhere but I lived here most of my life and the worst I experienced is catcalling. I would recommend going here if you are scared about travelling along as a woman

Lausanne is very safe ! Most of the neighborhoods are really calm and safe for women. I never felt scared even coming home drunk at 3am haha. I would recommend to come here without being scared but i would just not go to La Riponne alone at night because its a bit scary and there are many weird people.

It’s not what it was used to be decades ago when I first moved to Lausanne 35 years ago, but I’m still feeling ok to walk back home. Switzerland is still safer than most other countries even so it changed over time.

Pretty safe. I never felt scared about being pushed or put in danger. I've only experienced catcalling when biking. Also be aware if your surroundings when walking at night in flon and riponne (the only place i'd consciously avoid at that time).

Lausanne is a really safe city. I would recommend skipping the Riponne area in the dark, where there are a lot of drug addicts asking for money at the bus stops, and Rue de Genève during the night, where there is prostitution. Aside from that, the city is beautiful during the day and in my two years living there I haven't had any trouble at all.

There are some places like "rue de Genève" or dake ways under the train station where it's better to not go late. Like everywhere, there are some bad people but in general it's safe. When you use the train late, there is a special police phone number for trains.

Solo travel

Lausanne is a clean and safe but unnecessarily expensive city. There are a couple museums that are free (or cheap) for people under 25 so it makes up for the cost of living ! I would recommend the Rumine Palace.
