New year in Switzerland. I and two of my friends joined an open trip to Switzerland and it was such a winter wonderland! Everywhere you see is white and people were walking around with their ski gears. Although not as clear as in the summertime, the Aare river was also pretty and becoming a contrast with the surrounding area. We went to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald which are breathtaking in its own way. For the food, it is costly so I recommend a supermarket visit like Coop. They have delicious line of ready-made like chicken (!!), salad etc.
Posted: May 14, 2025I 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.

Hi ! Tris trip was amazing ! I feel safe everywhere I went. My favorite activity of this trip: the Golden Pass. This train takes us miles through the heart of the mountains and takes us to equally magnificent destinations đ I decided to take a second train and visit Spiez, my favorite town to date đ„° Public transportation is really efficient and clean, but is rather expensive (the price depends on the journey time). I stayed in Les Avants, a small village above Montreux. It was very quiet and relaxing. I went to Sonloup by cable car where I took a wonderful walk in the forest in the mountains. The views were spectacular. I also went to Montreux, where I walked along Lake Geneva to Chillon Castle. This castle is really nice to visit and is in a truly magnificent setting. I also went to Lausanne, but I don't recommend it. Except for the lake, I didn't find it very beautiful. There you go, I hope this experience inspires or helps you! âšïž
Posted: May 6, 2025Experienced: December, 2023We felt safe, but too expensive. I shocked because of public transport. If you are a group you can prefer uber. Because we did like that. Anyway we had unforgettable memories. Racket and cheese fondue is my favoriteeee

Jâadore Switzerland!! I felt super safe. Loved eating Fondue. I went to GenevĂ©. I stayed in Starling Hotel Lausanne. Also highly recommend going to Gstaad. I went to Cailerâs chocolate factory in the country, CERN, MusĂ©e Olympique, Lac LĂ©man Cruise, Chaplinâs World, Indian Zayeka, EHL Hospitality Business School, Palais des Nations.
Posted: April 29, 2025I traveled to Locarno with my boyfriend. We camped there for three or four days. The town looked very beautiful. We also went to restaurants occasionally. We often cooked and ate in our tent or brought food with us. Since it was a low-budget vacationâwe're both students and have to watch our financesâwe didn't do much. We mostly walked around town, hiked, and swam in the lake. It was a very pleasant vacation.
Posted: April 11, 2025Switzerland may be one of the safest countries I've been to, I think it's very safe for women. Zurich was very nice but I couldn't find much to do in the winter, it's still peaceful and beautiful, ideal for a 2-3 day trip. I don't think they have very good food, food and accommodation are extremely expensive.
Posted: March 31, 2025Experienced: January, 2025Definitely do a hike to Trummelbach - it's flat valley floor with stunning landscape! Consider going up to Murren valley. There's a cable car that starts from there to Schilthorn. Visit the Stubbach falls right next to the station
Posted: March 19, 2025Experienced: January, 2025Lausanne is a clean and safe but unnecessarily expensive city. There are a couple museums that are free (or cheap) for people under 25 so it makes up for the cost of living ! I would recommend the Rumine Palace.
Posted: March 11, 2025I was on an internship there. I went solo hiking and also night running and I felt pretty safe even at night. The country is gorgeous! Such beautiful nature, definitely recommend to go somewhere on a hike.

Bern is a very safe place. During the day, you donât have to be afraid at all. Only at night, I would avoid the Bollwerk/SchĂŒtzenmatt area. But even in the city center, itâs not really a problem at night. Sometimes, there are people asking for money, but you just need to say you donât have any cash and theyâll leave without another word.

As all of the places in Switzerland, the Canton of Aargau is very safe. If your door doesnât directly face the street itâs even safe to leave the door unlocked all the time. You can safely use public transport and walk around on your own.
