IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Switzerland’s largest city is a surprisingly good solo travel destination — compact enough to navigate on foot, safe enough to walk home alone at midnight, and interesting enough to fill three or four days without touching a tourist checklist.
The old town (Altstadt) across both banks of the Limmat is the obvious starting point, but the best Zurich is found slightly off it: the independent galleries along Langstrasse, the lakeside swimming spots locals use all summer, the coffee houses that have been serving the same clientele for a century. The public transport network is exceptional — a day pass gets you trams, buses and lake boats.
Laura Meier, our Zürich-based writer, covers the city in depth at allaboutswiss.com.
Most solo travel advice online is either obvious (“tell someone your itinerary”) or designed to make you nervous enough to book a guided tour. We try to do neither.
Our guides are written by people who travel alone regularly — not as a lifestyle brand, but because it’s the most flexible, efficient way to see places properly. That means we cover the practical stuff: which cities actually work well for solo travellers and which are harder than they sound, how much things genuinely cost, which booking platforms are worth using, and where to stay when you don’t want to share a dorm but also don’t want to pay for a hotel room designed for two.
If you’re new to solo travel, start with our beginner’s guide. If you know what you’re doing and just need destination or logistics help, browse by destination or use the search.
