Winterthur is safe. I have never had a negative experience. When I go out, it can happen that a drunk person makes a stupid comment, but I just ignore it and keep walking. I’m not afraid to go out alone in the evening for a walk or anything like that. Overall, I feel very safe.

I’ve only worried for my safety once since moving here and overall in my 22 years of living in Switzerland as a whole can count the amount of times I worried at all and all of them were because of a drunk man on the train or bus. But usually there will be other people on public transport with you and there are often armed security on trains especially during peak drunk party people hours. I wouldn’t ever drop my guard completely but generally I’ve never come even close to actual danger despite taking the train late at night very often and walking in the dark in town or in villages and even in the woods quite a bit. Just avoid streets notorious for drugs or crime, keep the headphones off and don’t be afraid to be impolite if you feel unsafe :)
