Quality of life in Switzerland

If, by quality of life, you mean physical security, beautiful landscapes everywhere, good urban planning, no pollution, the highest per capita income in the world, punctual and efficient services, low taxes, and good travel connections, then Switzerland is one of the very best places in the world you can chose to live in.

 

Security and crime

There is almost no violent crime in Switzerland, especially against foreigners. The only violent crime that occurs against foreigners is in refugees centers, where some people continue the war they left at home. Theft is also an importation; we have the occasional Eastern European gang come to our country to commit burglaries. But by any standard, Switzerland is one of the safest countries to live in anywhere in the world, especially when compared to the US. If you asked us to name a place in Switzerland where you should not go out alone at night, we could not even give one. That's security.

In 1993, there were less murders in Geneva in one year than in New York in one day.
