Is Zurich Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Zurich

Zurich is a dense city with lots of wonderful people. There are some crazy and homeless people here and there but mostly if you avoid them they dont to anything. If they do something they talk to you and it can be uncomfortable but they‘re always in public places so you can avoid them and get security if you‘re at a trainstation.

Zurich is a very safe city. You can walk around at night even alone with no problems especially near thr city center. Public transportation is widely available and I use it almost daily sometimes even at night and nothing has ever happened to me.

Zurich is a safe place, its mostly calm but still dont trust everyone. U can really have a good time, u dont have to be worried but also dont feel at home everywhere, not everyone wants u to have a good time, but mostly yes.

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.

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 :))
