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.

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 a wonderful city where I felt very safe. The public transportation network in Switzerland is absolutely amazing. The Christmas market is enchanting. There are plenty of stalls with traditional Swiss food as well as dishes from around the world. It's a nice place to take a walk, have a drink and eat a snack. The river and the lake are beautiful for walks, and taking a day trip is easy, both Annecy and Lausanne are great.

The home of the most instrumental organisations and institutions of our time Worth a visit Must go to the UN office, visit Lake Geneva and the surroundings at Rolex office Talk to people around you you may run into an activist, a writer, a leader just down the street. A place of action and a place you need to be at

Super 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.

I have rarely been unsafe or felt harassed.in my city. I can take public transportation with any worry. When it was dark, I can go out alone or with girl friends and never been assaulted, even late at night when getting out of night clubs, etc.
Posted: September 8, 2025The city overall is very safe, especially in the center and near the lake. I would recommend tho to pay attention when you go a little further away, because many areas are really empty and so at night it can be dangerous.
Posted: July 13, 2025Geneva is a safe city for women, I live in the center of Geneva, knwon for its nightlife, prostitutes and drug dealers (because yes there are!)) and I'm not worried to go out at night, even at 2 am, but I'm always aware of my surroundings and avoid some places that might seem unsafe (ex: empty parc by night or very dark street).

About me
I’m 25, born under the warm sun of Brazil but raised among the mountains and lakes of Switzerland since I was eight. I’m endlessly curious about the world—traveling, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures makes me feel alive. I’m a social worker by profession, which means helping people isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s part of who I am. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me strumming my ukulele, playing the piano, or spoiling my two cats. I love animals, music, deep conversations, and small moments that make life beautiful. Friends would describe me as warm, affectionate, and a little bit of a hopeless romantic—because for me, love (in all its forms) is the most important thing we can share.
