Is Zurich Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Zurich

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🔒

Zürich is overall a very safe city. Even at night it does not feel dangerous anymore. There are streets like Langstrasse for example, which used to be dangerous but they aren’t as much of a problem anymore. Most of the times police will be driving/ walking around as well.

I think Zürich is pretty safe, of course it's still a "big" city so for women we always have to be a bit careful but in general it is quite safe. I would not recommend you to go to Langstrasse alone at night (during the day it's ok).

I have always felt very safe and haven’t experienced any scary problems even coming home alone late at night. The public transport and night trains/busses are very safe with security workers patrolling it too.

Zürich is a very safe city, I never felt unsafe while walking alone, even at night, for sure you need to be cautious, but I never experienced any assault here. Some drunk people could hang out near the train station at night, but that’s it

Generally Zurich is extremely safe. Of course there are places where you might prefer to not walk around at night alone as a women (certain places around the main train station, also Langstrasse) but even there it is very unlikely that something serious happens. If, then it should most probably only be someone strange that tries to talk to you, but normally it should not be too hard to escape the conversation. If something strange happens, try to get help from Swiss people, even though they are reserved, they are very friendly and will most probably help you to feel safe and not alone.

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.
