Is Lausanne Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Lausanne is a clean and safe but unnecessarily expensive city. There are a couple museums that are free (or cheap) for people under 25 so it makes up for the cost of living ! I would recommend the Rumine Palace.

Very safe just avoid non crowded areas at night if you want to walk around but in my experience I’ve never gotten dangerously harassed in 10 years living here although keep in mind that I’m white and tall so that does go in my way
