    Hello,

    We are going to reach Zurich in morning the 3.40 am via flixbus from Nice, France.

    Pls. Suggest will it be safe to stay there till 6.00 am, as we need to go to Lucerne and have booking there.

    Also suggest which one is safer, Zurich bus station or Zurich train station for me and my wife.

    Hi Rajatgahoi,

    in general Switzerland is a safe country. Just to make sure nothing happens, keep an eye on your luggage. Although it won’t be a comfortable waiting for you as the waiting rooms – and probably the stations too – are closed so early. Be aware it can be really cold in September during the night.

    On which day will you arrive from Paris? Maybe you should look for a fast food restaurant or bar close to the station.

    Hi Rajatgahoi,

    I’d also wait at or near the train station, but do keep in mind that the station is not designed to stay overnight. Most areas will be closed. I recommend to search http://www.flixbus.co.uk for a direct Nice to Luzern bus as they offer those too.
