Solo Female Travel in Zurich

Solo travel experience

Really beautiful city with beautiful nature landscapes of course. The center of Zurich feels like Europe and has a nice mix of history and architecture. But the real magic of the city is on the outskirts. Really recommend taking a car out to some of those beautiful nature spots and enjoying the real Switzerland

Solo travel experience

I advice - for 2/3 day visit, amazing the city is beautifull. - to bring your own food or at least part of it if thats possible since it is expensive. - Go to reihnfalls they are the biggest waterfalls of whole Europe. I took the train from Zurich to from train station near the falls it took 1hr. But the falls were 4 minute walk from the arrival station. Wich was pretty great! - the nightlife was on the other half a little calm so if your'e looking for that Zurich is not the place to be. - trains and busses were very clean and on time!

Solo travel experience

I came to Zürich for work but stayed on a couple of days to get to know the city. The public transportation is fantastic and downtown is very slick while also having plenty of places to gather and be. It's expensive as would be expected. I felt safe in the areas I visited. People are generally very helpful if asked about life here and how to navigate.

Group travel experience

Switzerland as a whole is very safe as I'm sure most will say. Never felt unsafe as I traveled through the country though I was with a group part of the time. We stayed at a hotel NW of the city center which was quite nice except for the inability to eat your own food in the main lobby/downstairs area as it is a space intended for their cafe/restaurant customers. So if you have a snack you are enjoying on the go, eat it while still on the go or in the room. There was no air conditioning in the room but because the weather was still cool, that was not a problem. Be prepared to spend when you come to Zurich/ Switzerland, as food is not cheap. I would recommend using the Too Good To Go app to grab more affordable food options that are to go / snacks / or to eat in a park if you want to have a low spend day. The country as a whole is very polite, friendly, clean, and efficient. Most memorable is the beauty of Switzerland. It's like an unscathed gem in a world tarnished by hatred and war in its history.

Solo travel experience

As a single woman, traveling alone, I felt incredibly safe, walking around the city at night time, and in the early morning. The city was clean and beautiful. Public transportation was clean, safe, and on time. I took public transportation to the nearest mountain and hiked up all by myself. I’ve never felt more comfortable hiking alone as a female.

Solo travel experience

The city center is spectacular. Just walking around is nice, but you can also ride a bike! Warning: you'll ride in the same direction and close to the tram rails. I come from a city that doesn't have that and I almost had an accident 🥵😅 Restaurants are expensive in comparison to Spanish salaries, and many people bring food to parks. That's a cool option! 🥰 People are really nice and open-minded!! I love the culture and to be able to talk Italian or English everywhere I go, as I don't know Swiss or High German. If you like books, there are some second-hand book shops that are really nice! 🤓📚

Couple travel experience

Clean and transport was efficient. It is safe for women solo travelers. It's a bit pricey but if you book early it is affordable. The food was delicious. We stayed in 25 hours hotel, there are Restaurant nearby and tram station in front of the hotel. It isn't busy during public holidays, many businesses don't operate during public holiday.

I grew up in towns and cities close to the city center. I've had my fair share of drunk nights, walking home through dark streets or having to wait an hour by the train station. Always feeling safe. Most times if you lose your belongings somewhere, they will get returned to you. People usually keep to themselves

I’ve never felt safer in a city than in Zurich. The only street we’re I’m a bit worried sometimes at night is Langstrasse, the party street. But even there me and my friends never actually experienced harassment.

Beautiful city with lots of activities and a busy nightlife The tourist attractions are mostly free you can visit the beautiful churches also the lake take a stroll in the old town visit the traditional modern main train station
