Everyone can find something of their own in Switzerland. For those who love skiing, the best will be the Swiss ski slopes, someone will be enchanted by ancient castles, and someone even came to the country for the sake of amazing cheese. The cost of living in Switzerland for everyone may be different, because it is the most expensive country in Europe.
Switzerland is suitable for different types of recreation:
- family;
- youth;
- individual.
Accommodation
Inexpensive hotels in Switzerland will gladly shelter their guests for 50-100 francs per room. The bad news is that there are not so many of them, especially in large cities. There are not enough places for everyone, so you need to book rooms in advance. The resort areas of the country amaze with their range of prices in hotels, so you need to be prepared for the fact that for the view from the window you will have to add to the already not small amount for the room.
Tourists often stay with locals or rent an apartment, which is very popular and profitable. Such apartments will cost from 50 francs per day for two. Usually, excellent apartments are rented with all the amenities, so this method is perfect for tourists with small children. For those who are not going to spend money on hotels, there are a huge number of hostels. Price per bed - from 20 francs.
Nutrition
The cheapest food is, of course, street food. Such a snack will cost about 10 francs. For lunch at a fast food or average cafe, you need to shell out from 10 to 25 francs per person. In an inexpensive restaurant, you can leave up to 50-60 francs. Prices in chic restaurants start at 200 francs.
Transport
Switzerland has a unique system of uniform travel cards. There are several types - for a month or for several days. It all depends on the length of stay in the country and the types of transport that a person is going to use. A monthly pass gives you the opportunity to move around the country free of charge by any type of land transport, including city transport. The cost of such a 1st class ticket is about 800 francs, 2nd class - 500 francs. For children, they are, of course, 2 times cheaper. Other types of travel cards allow you to travel either for free or with a 50% discount. Their cost is from 200 to 600 francs.
You can also rent a car or bicycle. An economy class car will cost from 100 francs. You will need to leave a small deposit for the bike, since this service is absolutely free, the money will be returned later.
