I feel really safe in general. Never felt uncomfortable walking around the city. I would just be mindful at night around the station as there could be some drunk people or drug users. I came from work many times around 11:30pm and it felt safe though.

Never felt anything but safe here. Switzerland overall has a low crime rate. Walking around in the dark isn’t a problem in aarau and its surroundings. Have never witnessed any problems around the central station area even though there are sometimes people just lingering around there.

About me

Hey, I’m Agathe, 28yo, I have the greatest time when I’m surrounded by women, something I can’t explain. I’ve been travelling a lot in the last couple years. As much as I loved travelling alone, I know feel I want to share memories with people who might become friends.
