FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Our Tours in Switzerland
Visa and Entry
Do I need a visa for Switzerland?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. In most cases, you will apply for a Schengen visa, which allows you to travel to 29 European countries. We recommend applying for a visa well in advance of your trip and getting help from a visa center
What documents do I need for entry?
In addition to a valid visa, you need a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond the end of your trip. You may also need to provide proof of accommodation and sufficient funds.
Currency and Finance
What is the Swiss Currency?
The official currency of Switzerland is the Swiss Franc, abbreviated as CHF. Swiss banknotes and coins are distinctly designed, and it's helpful to recognize them to avoid confusion during transactions.
What other payment methods are common/accepted?
Switzerland is a modern and technologically advanced country; therefore, credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Visa and Mastercard are the most used credit cards. While card payments are prevalent, it's always advisable to carry some Swiss Francs for small purchases, particularly in rural areas or at local markets. Contactless payment options are also increasingly common, offering convenience for quick transactions.
What is the tipping etiquette in Switzerland?
In Switzerland, service charges are typically included in restaurant bills, hotel stays, and taxi fares. Therefore, tipping is not mandatory. However, it's customary to round up the bill or leave a small amount as a gesture of appreciation for exceptional service. If you feel that the service exceeded your expectations, a tip of 5-10% is considered generous.
Transport
How does the public transport system work in Switzerland?
Switzerland has an excellent public transport system with trains, buses, and boats. It is known for its punctuality and efficiency. If you’re traveling on your own with public transport, we recommend you use the SBB app. The app is available in German, French, Italian, and English.

Are seats on panoramic trains easy to get?
Panoramic trains are very popular and not all of the run all year round.
