Find housing in Switzerland
Whole apartment or flatshare room: Danaides (Swiss Map) lists homes on a map. Here is how to search effectively in French- and German-speaking Switzerland.
Why search on a map?
In Switzerland, commute time matters as much as rent. On Danaides (Swiss Map), apartments and rooms appear on an interactive map: see Lausanne, Geneva, Vevey, Montreux, Fribourg, Zurich or Annemasse at a glance, then filter by price and size.
Budget and charges in CHF
Listings show monthly rent in Swiss francs, often with or without charges. Compare the total (rent + charges), room size and how many roommates already live there before messaging the advertiser.
Contact without an agency
Danaides connects seekers and advertisers via in-app messaging. You do not need an agency for a first contact: create an account, open the listing and write directly.
Most requested cities
Lausanne and Geneva see high student and cross-border demand. The Riviera (Vevey, Montreux), Fribourg and Zurich often offer a bit more choice. Annemasse remains an option if you work in Geneva and want a more accessible rent.
