Geneva is lovely. I felt pretty safe there, everyone was just minding their own business. Everything is quite expensive. There are lots of things to do, many luxury shops, you can walk/cycle around the Léman lake... I recommend the Botanical Garden of Geneva, which is amazing and 100% free!

Tip stay in france at the border. Annemasse is pretty close to geneva by tram and also by train. We used the tram. Restaurents and supermarkets are much cheaper. I love the botanical garden at geneva.

Solo travel
Genava is my Hub, as far as I'm using easyjet (whuch is the cheapest one to fly from Egypt. I used to fly to GVA since August 1999 and I stayed there for the last 7 years as a UN accredited correspondant for Al-Ahram daily news paper. I have many friends there and I used to stay in their houses before heading to my destination in Europe.

Geneva is really safe but be mindful to not spend too much time around the central station area during the night. Take an uber back to the hotel if you can instead of a bus or tram that you have to change here!
Posted: March 3, 2026Super safe The best place to go out alone or enjoy doing some activities outdoors You have a lot of options to chose. So no problem if you want to come and visit. But always keep safe your belongings
Posted: November 3, 2025Geneva is very safe overall. Never experienced problems in public transportation. Walking in the city during the night feels safe if you keep out from the red neighbourhood and from behind the main train station.

Born in Brazil, raised in Switzerland. Social worker by day, curious human always. I love traveling, good conversations, live music, and discovering places (and people) that feel real. Usually found outdoors, at a concert, wandering around a new city, or hanging out with my two cats. Always up for sharing stories, coffee, or a spontaneous plan.
