Zermatt, Solo travel
Increeedible! 🤯if you like trekkings you need to do! But very expensive. Fun fact, zermatt is a car free city, so you need to arrive there by train. Loved my stay there, will recommended to anyone. It is goo to go on low season, muchchaper, and not as crowdes

St. Gallen, Group travel
I loved everything about St Gallen. I am from Luxembourg so the city and the streets felt very familiar. I enjoyed my time there. The only downside to St Gallen is how expensive everything was. Transport, accommodation and food. Also, entry into some places was very expensive, but to some other places it was very affordable.

I felt extremely safe, one of the few locations where even walking late at night posed no threat. The country is quite expensive, but if you’re staying in a hostel you’ll be able to save up and also meet likeminded individuals!

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

Very safe overall, especially in the main part of the city. Me personally, I never feel unsafe. You can also walk at evenings/nights. Never witnessed a crime or anything. Just be careful around train stations and keep to yourself.

Its very safe to come here and even walk around at night in most places in basel and in switzerland in general. People arent very open and talkative but there arent lots of crimes here and you mostly feel safe throughout the city
