Is Zurich Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Zurich

I almost always feel safe in zurich. It’s a very lovely city. I think being afraid as a woman when it’s dark is normal and is because of men. Because it doesn’t matter where you are in the world SA is always a fear of mine, and as far as i know lots of other women. But I feel way safer in Zurich and actually in most of switzerland than in other cities and countrys. I’d like to say that people help eachother and girls watch out for other girls. You are never ever completely safe of SA in our sad world but safe enough in zurich to be able to enjoy the evening:) If you are in trouble and need help these are some of the most important telephone numbers: general emergency call: 112 police: 117 ambulance: 144 fire department: 118 you just need to remember one, if you call there they can always connect you to the number that you really needed for your problem. Pickpockets almost don’t exist at all, i always find it strange when i have to store my phone in my bag and shouldn’t store it in the backpocket of my jeans when i am abroad. I hope this helps and i wish you a safe and pleasant stay!

i would say zurich is very safe! ofc there‘s always places that you should not walk through at night but i think every city has these sketchy places. I‘m generally a little worried about any assault but that‘s not because of zurich but because i‘m a woman…

I think Zurich is all in all safe, it just depends on where you go/stay. We definitely have some dodgy areas where you feel less safe during the night (e.g. Langstrasse, a street with a busy nightlife) but if you walk confidently, you should be ok. So far nothing has happened to me, even when walking alone at night.

I feel safe being there as a women until 5 in the morning and no one speaks to me, leaving things unguarded, and you’ll find them still there untouched , it is the safest place I’ve ever lived in, or been to

Zurich is a very safe place to live. In the past, I never experienced a bad situation or felt unsafe. Also walking alone after dark or being in public places/transport is no issue. With the use of some common sense you‘ll be totally fine.

Zurich is pretty super safe. If you gp to Langstrasse (party street) you might be approached by some strangers but even then they are respectful. As always look for your staff if you are at growded places but it is really safe in Zurich and switzerland in general

Solo travel

I visited Zurich in April. It wasn’t very warm outside, so I would recommend to visit it closer to summer. Overall, it was a good experience. The city is walkable and public transport is excellent. The only thing to take into account is that Zurich is considered one of the most expensive cities, and it was indeed quite pricy

Solo travel

Zurich felt easy and calm. I got around with public transport, had a trip in to nature and saw the mountains nearby. It was rainy the first days but when the sun came out everything began to shine :))
