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

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.

It’s in Switzerland (so it’s basically safe) and it’s a village. You’d have to be incredibly unlucky to come across anyone with bad intentions, at any time of the day or night. The same goes for the surrounding villages and towns. Not everyone speaks English. But the Swiss have a mindset of never leaving anyone in difficulty to fend for themselves.

Super safe, from my personal experience and the area I was in people didn't even lock their doors but this might be a bit uncommon still reflects the attitude around general safety. Even at night the streets are safe and a local even helped to jumpstart the car!

Very safe it's a small village with a small ski resort and not a lot of people. The population is friendly and very easy going. They are always willing to help. In my years of living here I've never witnessed a major crime.
