Is Zurich Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Zurich

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

Generally there are a lot of districts where I fell very safe, also at night. But in some places (Langsstrasse) I tend to not stay long alone. Also around the main station I don’t stay long alone during the night.

It‘s very clean and there are not many homeless people or drug addicts. Everywhere you go, there are policemen. There is minor crime, but mostly just drugdeals or soccer related fights. I would consider Zurich as a safe city🔒

Group travel

I took a day trip to Zurich from Milan. I think one or two days is totally enough for Zurich. People were really kind and there is no chance that feeling of any danger. It is so expensive city ( even we did not stayed at there) to compare other european cities. I liked the vibes of beer saloons, you can eat and drink your beers.

Solo travel

I felt safe, but everything was really expensive and quite out of my reach. I liked the city even if it rained a little, and liked the people I met there. The only problem is that there is not much nightlife.
