Is Saint Gallen Safe for Women? Crime Rate & Safety Index

Solo travel

Overall great experience, was my first solo travel spot, I felt safe all the time, stayed in a youth hostel a bit further away from the city center, the walk there was ok, its up hill and with asthma and a lot of heat it can get a bit challenging, however, once in the hostel I got a free travel card for the day and the next day as well, so that was very good, the ticket works all the way to Konstanz lake, that area was also quite nice and felt safe, I was lucky enough to have great weather the whole weekend I spent there and great roommates at the hostel, the 2 friendliest old ladies who made no noise after 10pm and enabled a perfect night of sleep after a full travel day. (I prefer calmness to partying but just a personal preference, the hostel would accommodate according to your preferences, I saw more lively groups there as well) Food can be quite expensive, as everything in Switzerland, snacks from Aldi and Lidl are the way to go, also tickets to most attractions can be quite much cheaper if you're a student, so always make sure to ask if there is a discount for students Overall recommend this small city for a visit, views are amazing, people are friendly, budget wise can be done cheap by avoiding to eat out or staying in the city center
