Solo travel

Lausanne is a clean and safe but unnecessarily expensive city. There are a couple museums that are free (or cheap) for people under 25 so it makes up for the cost of living ! I would recommend the Rumine Palace.

Lausanne is my heart town I love it. I think it’s pretty safe I mean you can let your wallet and Keys and phone and life on your blanket at the beach and come back and everything is still there. (But don’t take the risk) There is no thief or pickpocket. Not at all !!(embarrassing for us when we go somewhere where there is pickpockets because we have the impression it’s ok) And for a woman alone, maybe just avoid “tunnel” and “la riponne” because there is some junkie and you can feel inconfortable but they are not bad of something. You can feel safe at Lausanne 😘

As a woman it is easy to feel unsafe even in Lausanne I have some good and safe places to recommend... But if I compare the city to other ones or very big ones it is safe, Switzerland in general is really safe thanks to how people are calm I guess... However since the illegal demonstration for Palestine the police as been really aggressive and violent, it proves that police is not the thing that will makes you feel safer, (maybe as a tourist...) By day I would say you don't have to take precautions dress as you want and feel free ! During night there is more risks but again, street violence is really rare in general (: Safe travels

Very safe overall, however it's better to avoid walking alone in the night in some areas. If you party until late, try to be escorted home especially near Riponne, Flon, Chauderon or the train station.
