Solo travel
I visited Lucerne and it was beautiful, I highly recommend it. I also went up the Pilatus mountain for a half-day trip from Lucerne and it was equally beautiful there (you can go up the mountain by cable car or train).

Very safe, low in pocket picking but it can happen. If you have any problems or you feel uncomfortable, ask people around you to help, many speak English and will help you. I feel very safe in Lucerne at day and at night.

I’ve walked around at night and never anything happened but there is obviously some crime! Depending on which place you are in lucerne I often don’t lock my house never anything happens so you can feel safe here

Everything is normal here, I've never had bad experiences or concerns. You can be outside at any time and don't have to worry. Almost everything goes peacefully, only at big festivals are there drunk people.
