Nice calm city but on Sundays everything is closed so be aware of that. I was there with my bestie both feel safe uber was safe as well only the Main Street was a bit scary bc of party people. Zürich is very expensive but so pretty. I recommend you to visit rheinfalls

Switzerland, Solo travel
I traveled to Switzerland on my own and really enjoyed the experience. The country is incredibly beautiful, very clean and well organized, and I always felt safe as a solo traveler. Nature, cities and infrastructure are impressive. However, compared to German standards, Switzerland is definitely expensive, especially public transportation. Still, it was absolutely worth it and I would recommend it, particularly for solo trips.

It was great. It was never enough. I went there twice and plan third. So there are many things to do. Especially if you love nature. Every tipe of traveler can find something to do. Hiking, skiing, canoeing, swimming, walking, climbing... Expensive tho.

Lausanne
I feel safe in the street of Lausanne. As a reference, I grew up in Paris. Probably not as safe as in South Korea but still better than most of European cities. I would say it's most of the time really quiet and calm, I never felt insecure

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.

Frick
Actually I live in Frick, near Basel-Stadt. Frick as well as Basel-Stadt one of the safest cities in the world. Switzerland by itself is in the top 10 safest countries in the world. I lived in Basel-Stadt before Frick, so I can say everyone comply with law and rules, no one will rob you, even in late night.
