I’m still financially recovering from my trip to Zurich and I live in London! Very clean, very organised, very nice people in general, but now that I’ve been, I won’t repeat. You’re right about taxis.

Just finished our eight days in Switzerland and thank you for all the info I gleaned from watching your videos. Todays #1 tip though I wish I had known. We took the train in from Chur to Zurich for the last night before our flight - wasted time and $$ by having to pay to transport to the hotel (15 Swiss each way) and back to the airport in the morning… We should have just stayed in the AirB&B we had, and then taken the train straight to the airport. Oh vell!! Lesson learned!

2:42 Also take a look at the 9 Uhr pass - it's 24 Franks and valid from 9 am in the whole zvv region.

2 weeks around whole of Switzerland and today is my last day and it being Zurich. I had a blast following your advice (alongside the other channel) and I thank you so much for all your info

Great video! 👍

I’ll be visiting with a friend in early June. Can’t wait!

Literally on the train back to Zürich for our last night in Switzerland while watching this! Thanks for all the tips and videos, you were both very helpful!!! 🇨🇭🏔️😃

Thank you very grateful. Very comprehensive and informative. Many thanks! :)

Thank you for these invaluable tips! Planning my trip to Zurich and these insights are gold. I'll make sure to avoid these common tourist mistakes and make the most out of my visit. Can't wait to explore this beautiful city with confidence! 🇨🇭✈ #TravelSmart

Thank you for the great tips.

ahhhhh im living in spain now and trying to travel more and this vid is getting me so hype for perhaps a spontaneous trip there!!!!

Forget visiting.. I now want to move to Switzerland. I visited and it felt like home and I’m longing to come back.

Thanks so much! I won't be getting to Switzerland soon, but it's on the bucket list, and I know it will be expensive when I do get there, so I want to get the planning right. It's fantastic to get these tips. <3

1. You can enter any COOP (they are almost everywhere in Zurich) and use the restroom for free. 2. The SBB tourist help centre at Zurich HB station accepts euros if you purchase any train tickets etc and return the change in CHF. They provide excellent exchange rate.

Very Very informative

A month ago I was in Zurich HB and I had to use the restroom, I had coins I was figuring out how to used them but I couldn't and had to pay with card :( bear in mind I was in a hurry. After I came out I saw another person struggling so the cleaner helped her and went to a vending machine to buy a card so she could go in. And later read that it said "entry only with card or smartphone" (Zutritt nur mit Karte oder Smarthphone) I was not expending this haha. Oh and thanks to your videos helped me plan all my journey thru Suisse, it was wonderful. You guys are amazing ❤.

I had a look at the Swiss card and it looked really good, but then my friend looked up the actual train prices and I was amazed how cheap they are compared to UK trains. Definitely cheaper to just pay the full train price than get a Swiss card for us.

Hi Alexis and Louis, Thanks for the informative video, super useful as we are planning to visit Zurich during new year eve. I would be grateful if you could advise if I need to buy All zones tickets in ZVV or I can manage with some selected zones? Please note that I will be staying in Center and plan to go around few places including Lake Zurich. Thanks in advance

There are more and more toilets in Zurich that you can pay for with a card ☺️ For example, at the main station and at Lindenhof. Interesting video, greetings from Horgen! 🥰
