How safe is Lucerne?

It is very easy to navigate and I can highly recommend using the public transport system. Overall it is very save! I would be a bit more carfull alone in a dark street at night but other than that I would say it is very save!

Pretty safe. As usual be aware of your surroundings. Homeless people usually linger around the train station, but they are harmless, mostly even very polite. When out drinking take all the precaution you would at home

Luzern is a nice city in the heart of Switzerland. Its beautiful and safe, in general you should only take care in the night at the Baselstrasse, thats also this street where alot of clubs and bars are. Normally nothing happends just be aware of your things there.

It‘s a nice small city , it‘s safe enough to walk alone, but look for your purse and bags that can happen everywhere. They are a lot of strangers from different countries, so be safe and don‘t talk a lot to them.

Lucerne like most swiss cities is pretty safe overall. Not many cases of pickpockets or agressive behaviour in general. There's generally pretty well lite streets and público transportation offers safety and Confort even at night.

Is Lucerne worth visiting?

Overall rating

4 /5

based on 4 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

I visited Lucerne and it was beautiful, I highly recommend it. I also went up the Pilatus mountain for a half-day trip from Lucerne and it was equally beautiful there (you can go up the mountain by cable car or train).
