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

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 :))

Walked around well past midnight when I was there, there were some groups of people out but it was quiet and incredibly safe. Bring an empty water bottle to fill up at the fountains and highly recommend taking a quick walking tour when you first get there to get oriented. The food was pretty good - def get a group together to go to fondue

Interlaken was incredible! I only got to go for a few hours, but I already have plans to go back. The views are unmatched and I’d recommend it over any big city in Switzerland. It was very safe and small town feel.
Posted: June 26, 2025I felt super safe. I stayed in my friend’s home. The city was very calm and relax. I heard the foods are not interesting so i didn’t try from a restaurant. Also you have very options about transportation. I love all the options but train is the fastest one
Posted: June 24, 2025I felt completely safe, staubbach falls and trümmelbach falls are a must! I really enjoyed coffee from a small barista spot right in front of the waterfalls, i stayed at Camping Jungfrau, and i got arround walking, theres also a bus service but its worth the walk

Appenzell is a pretty safe City or better say Village. The people here are pretty old fashioned and conservative. You really don't need to be afraid that someone will get physical with you, but there are alot of people who will commemt on how you dress. With old fashioned I mean, people will talk if you dress a bit more unique. If you ignore this it is really safe an beautiful and the people are also really nice. You will be recognised as a foreigner and people will also treat you like this sadly. Ofcourse not everybode, but I am speaking for my own experience, because eventhough I was born here my mother is from China and even I get racist comments sometimes. It gets better with time, but I just want to let you know if you consider visiting Appenzell. The Nature here is astonishing with beautiful Mountains we have everything a hiker would want.

Lausanne is a generally safe city, but as any city in the world anything can happen and you can still meet some annoying people in the night on your way home or at the clubs. There are no particularly dangerous neighborhoods, and you can take te public transportation in the night without big stress but it’s possible that you meet some drug addicts on them. Lausanne has a big crisis with crack addicts at the moment but they’re not dangerous per se. They often come during the day to ask for money and thanks it. So I would say lausanne is relatively safe but stay aware at night, just in case !
