Is Zurich Safe for Women?

Never have felt unsafe here. In general, petty crimes here do exist however they are not very common. Locals in Zurich city speak English very well so in case you need help, it is easy to ask for assistance

Safest place I’ve ever been to. Even drug addicts are socially accepted and don’t react aggressively. Homes are mostly left unlocked. Very safe to walk at night. Police is not everywhere but adds to the feeling of safety. Taxis are also safe but Uber is so much cheaper :)

Zurich is a very safe and secure city. It’s a city that every low is respected. But as with any destination it’s important to take precautions. There is no no-go area even for single travelers at night.

This is a very safe place. Even though pickpocketing is warned about in Switzerland, it is not much of an issue compared to other places. Many restaurants and supermarkets leave their furniture outside overnight. The public transport here is nice and bright.

During the day & evenings it is completely safe. At night (like 4am) I would just be a bit careful and not necessarily be alone in unknown areas. Just behave with common sense especially if you go out and drink. You can always take an uber instead of walking/public transport or call me.

Switzerland is one of the safest places on Earth. And so is Zurich. Therefore it's the best place to visit where one can enjoy vacation peacefully without second thoughts. However late in the night, it's absolutely safe to be alone.

Zurich is a safe city. Of course there always ppl that stand out. However, if you stay in the city you'll be fine. Even in the dark. Ignore weird ppl or ppl that make you feel uncomfortable. Just walk past them.

Switzerland is overally very safe. Zürich is to me very safe given the fact that it is a big city, I never was harassed. I aknowledge that it can also be luck though, as I don't think any city can be 100% harassment free sadly

Group travel experience

Switzerland as a whole is very safe as I'm sure most will say. Never felt unsafe as I traveled through the country though I was with a group part of the time. We stayed at a hotel NW of the city center which was quite nice except for the inability to eat your own food in the main lobby/downstairs area as it is a space intended for their cafe/restaurant customers. So if you have a snack you are enjoying on the go, eat it while still on the go or in the room. There was no air conditioning in the room but because the weather was still cool, that was not a problem. Be prepared to spend when you come to Zurich/ Switzerland, as food is not cheap. I would recommend using the Too Good To Go app to grab more affordable food options that are to go / snacks / or to eat in a park if you want to have a low spend day. The country as a whole is very polite, friendly, clean, and efficient. Most memorable is the beauty of Switzerland. It's like an unscathed gem in a world tarnished by hatred and war in its history.

Solo travel experience

As a single woman, traveling alone, I felt incredibly safe, walking around the city at night time, and in the early morning. The city was clean and beautiful. Public transportation was clean, safe, and on time. I took public transportation to the nearest mountain and hiked up all by myself. I’ve never felt more comfortable hiking alone as a female.

Solo travel experience

The city center is spectacular. Just walking around is nice, but you can also ride a bike! Warning: you'll ride in the same direction and close to the tram rails. I come from a city that doesn't have that and I almost had an accident 🥵😅 Restaurants are expensive in comparison to Spanish salaries, and many people bring food to parks. That's a cool option! 🥰 People are really nice and open-minded!! I love the culture and to be able to talk Italian or English everywhere I go, as I don't know Swiss or High German. If you like books, there are some second-hand book shops that are really nice! 🤓📚
