Solo Travel in Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich in Switzerland is such a cool city and great for solo female travellers. I have visited this city twice and stayed for a week in total. To help you solo travel Zurich, I've put together a solo travel in Zurich guide on where to eat, drink, sleep and sightsee and also where to meet others in this vibrant Swiss city. Just don’t forget to take your credit card as the city isn’t cheap. Happy planning!

Tip - Zurich is expensive so I recommend purchasing a Zurich Card before you go. It includes free public transport, admission to museums and discounts on tours. Or if you're planning on seeing more than Zurich and exploring the rest of Switzerland, have a look at the Swiss Pass instead. The Swiss Pass includes unlimited travel in Switzerland including the Glacier Express!

Stay for - For Zurich solo travel you'll need at least 3 nights. Zurich is an also a good base to explore the rest of Switzerland.

Is Zurich safe for solo female travellers? Regarding safety in Zurich, Zurich is a really safe city but just be careful of pickpockets. You may find tourist touts at the main station so be firm if you don't want to interact with them.

Is Zurich safe at night? Anywhere there are crowds keep an eye on your bag and purse, especially in Langstrasse, the Red Light District and near the train station and lakefront at night. I've given Zurich 4 out of 5 stars for being solo female-friendly. It's generally safe, has a lot to see and has good transport links. ......
