Switzerland as a whole is very safe as I'm sure most will say. Never felt unsafe as I traveled through the country though I was with a group part of the time. We stayed at a hotel NW of the city center which was quite nice except for the inability to eat your own food in the main lobby/downstairs area as it is a space intended for their cafe/restaurant customers. So if you have a snack you are enjoying on the go, eat it while still on the go or in the room. There was no air conditioning in the room but because the weather was still cool, that was not a problem. Be prepared to spend when you come to Zurich/ Switzerland, as food is not cheap. I would recommend using the Too Good To Go app to grab more affordable food options that are to go / snacks / or to eat in a park if you want to have a low spend day. The country as a whole is very polite, friendly, clean, and efficient. Most memorable is the beauty of Switzerland. It's like an unscathed gem in a world tarnished by hatred and war in its history.
Posted: April 22, 2024Experienced: October, 2023As a single woman, traveling alone, I felt incredibly safe, walking around the city at night time, and in the early morning. The city was clean and beautiful. Public transportation was clean, safe, and on time. I took public transportation to the nearest mountain and hiked up all by myself. I’ve never felt more comfortable hiking alone as a female.

Clean and transport was efficient. It is safe for women solo travelers. It's a bit pricey but if you book early it is affordable. The food was delicious. We stayed in 25 hours hotel, there are Restaurant nearby and tram station in front of the hotel. It isn't busy during public holidays, many businesses don't operate during public holiday.

Safest place I’ve ever been to. Even drug addicts are socially accepted and don’t react aggressively. Homes are mostly left unlocked. Very safe to walk at night. Police is not everywhere but adds to the feeling of safety. Taxis are also safe but Uber is so much cheaper :)
Posted: April 27, 2024Zurich is a very safe and secure city. It’s a city that every low is respected. But as with any destination it’s important to take precautions. There is no no-go area even for single travelers at night.

The city center is spectacular. Just walking around is nice, but you can also ride a bike! Warning: you'll ride in the same direction and close to the tram rails. I come from a city that doesn't have that and I almost had an accident 🥵😅 Restaurants are expensive in comparison to Spanish salaries, and many people bring food to parks. That's a cool option! 🥰 People are really nice and open-minded!! I love the culture and to be able to talk Italian or English everywhere I go, as I don't know Swiss or High German. If you like books, there are some second-hand book shops that are really nice! 🤓📚

Heii everyone!! I was born and raised in Switzerland but my mom's from Ukraine so my childhood consisted of lots of old soviet cartoons or movies and that's why I'm also so interested in Eastern Europe and its people:) I love adventures that get my heart pumping but also just love meeting new people, showing them around and later grabbing a good ol' coffee😮💨So if you're ever in Zurich I'll be more than glad to show you around!!
