Is Bern Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I 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

Solo travel

This was my first solo trip! It was amazing, I stayed at a place that I found through the app Trusted Housesitters, so I was taking care of a cat while I was there which made my experience 1000 times better. Bern was much more exciting than I expected, it has beautiful mountains around it, very interesting shops and historical places and nice people :) it also snowed while I was there so that was great

Solo travel

During my stay in Bern I felt fairly save except in a few dark parks at night. The city isn’t too big, you can definitely see it in one or two days. It’s surrounded by a river with an amazing view, theres a few sights and museums, I can also recommend the animal park/zoo in the south. Old town is cute, I liked that it had giant chess boards and other games on the piazzas to play with strangers or friends. Price, well it’s Switzerland it’s expensive. All in all cute city, also has good public transportation as far as I could tell! :)

Solo travel

In general, the city is pretty safe. However, please do take care of yourself and your belongings at the train stations. It seems to be the main place where the drug addicts flock to. I stayed in an Airbnb 20mins away from the train station and I’m still exploring the city. People are generally nice here as well.

Solo travel

I visited Bern for the 4th time and it was wonderful as ussual, I had very nice weather so I walked around mostly. I felt very safe walking by myself. You should see the bear park and walk around if you can and eat some michelin star delicious sweets near there. The old city is wonderful to walk around too, you have shops there as well. Visit Thun the city and the lake if you have the time. Also trains and trams are very reliable so use that. Everything is pretty expensive so preapre yourself.

Family travel

I went to Bern in summer and found that river floating activity was quite popular. Unfortunately, we didn’t know that beforehand. My brother and I really wanted to try it Lol I also enjoy ancient vibe in Bern city!

Pretty safe, there are certain areas that i wouldn‘t visit alone at night but in general i feel pretty safe. The city center is quite small so there are always people around. But of course i always feel safer when i‘m with someone.

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