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.

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.

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!

i personally find bern safe and have never had a problem no matter what time of day or night. of course, like everywhere else, you have to be cautious at night. i have often gone home alone after parties on public transport or in taxis and have never been afraid and always felt safe as there are always lots of people out and about in bern except from midnight to 05:00 a.m. less so but otherwise i always feel safe
Posted: September 21, 2024Bern is a small town, swiss people are very polite, we don‘t have a lot of crimes. There‘s still some sexual harrasement happening, but in a minimal amount. The city is very clean, the police offers help in emergency and isn‘t corrupt at all. Robbers aren‘t a thing here

I could write a novel about myself, hahahaha! Short form if you like?: I‘m turning 50 this year and have a wunderful son. I‘m German, but have been living and working in Switzerland for over 10 years. I work at the university and have been working in forensic medicine for over 25 years, but I‘m not a doctor, I‘m one of the many more experienced worker bees here 😉. Now I‘m looking for me - je hat’s why I‘ m going on my first solotrip EVER this year… I‘m travelling to Busan, South Korea for 10 days in November… yaaaaaay!! I‘m so excited!!
