Is Lausanne Safe for Women?

Very safe overall, however it's better to avoid walking alone in the night in some areas. If you party until late, try to be escorted home especially near Riponne, Flon, Chauderon or the train station.

Lausanne is a generally safe city, but as any city in the world anything can happen and you can still meet some annoying people in the night on your way home or at the clubs. There are no particularly dangerous neighborhoods, and you can take te public transportation in the night without big stress but it’s possible that you meet some drug addicts on them. Lausanne has a big crisis with crack addicts at the moment but they’re not dangerous per se. They often come during the day to ask for money and thanks it. So I would say lausanne is relatively safe but stay aware at night, just in case !

Lausanne feels safe because you can always ask for help to strangers, you can let your things unwatched or forget them and still be able to find them hours later in public spaces. There are special night buses at night between 00h and 5 am.

It’s pretty safe just some places like riponne and lausanne Flon have some people who take drugs but it’s not that bad (I volunteer at the soup populaire and those people can sometimes distressed but pretty nice most of the time) overall Switzerland is pretty safe compared to a lot of places

Lausanne is a nice place to stay at. Some neighborhoods are a bit less safe than others but Switzerland is pretty much safe compared to other countries so not much to worry about ! Also, walking at night depends the area but I’ve never experienced any problems since I’ve been there.

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.
