Is Zurich Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Walked around well past midnight when I was there, there were some groups of people out but it was quiet and incredibly safe. Bring an empty water bottle to fill up at the fountains and highly recommend taking a quick walking tour when you first get there to get oriented. The food was pretty good - def get a group together to go to fondue

I took a day trip to Zurich from Milan. I think one or two days is totally enough for Zurich. People were really kind and there is no chance that feeling of any danger. It is so expensive city ( even we did not stayed at there) to compare other european cities. I liked the vibes of beer saloons, you can eat and drink your beers.

Solo travel

I felt safe, but everything was really expensive and quite out of my reach. I liked the city even if it rained a little, and liked the people I met there. The only problem is that there is not much nightlife.

Switzerland may be one of the safest countries I've been to, I think it's very safe for women. Zurich was very nice but I couldn't find much to do in the winter, it's still peaceful and beautiful, ideal for a 2-3 day trip. I don't think they have very good food, food and accommodation are extremely expensive.

Solo travel

Really safe for females and solo travellers who travel like local and surrounded by genuine nature, the weather is perfect to enjoy an adventurous outdoor activities like picnicking , hiking, strolling. Local pastries and foods are worth to eat I might probably one of the lucky person that I met a local who is frankly amiable and share her experience as a urban guide which an expensive experience and we still keep in touch.

That was my very first solo travelling experience. Zurich was so safe and pretty. Although I spent a lot of money fro food and transport, I enjoyed there to the fullest. At night I stayed with a couple who I hadn't met before. They were super nice people and prepared dinner for me and welcomed me with kind hugs. It felt so amazing being solo traveller and making such a perfect connection there.

i would say zurich is very safe! ofc there‘s always places that you should not walk through at night but i think every city has these sketchy places. I‘m generally a little worried about any assault but that‘s not because of zurich but because i‘m a woman…

I think Zurich is all in all safe, it just depends on where you go/stay. We definitely have some dodgy areas where you feel less safe during the night (e.g. Langstrasse, a street with a busy nightlife) but if you walk confidently, you should be ok. So far nothing has happened to me, even when walking alone at night.
