Switzerland is widely regarded as the most expensive country in Europe, and a visitor has shared valuable lessons on how to make a trip there more affordable. The country, known for its stunning landscapes, offers ways to cut costs without missing out on its beauty.
Eating Out Is Costly, but Supermarkets Offer a Solution
Eating out in Switzerland will set you back a lot, but there is no shortage of food stores. What they sell is truly mindblowing, and while they are not as cheap as an average Little Tesco, being surrounded by the Alps makes it easier to take.
The writer suggests buying breakfast pastries, delicious bread, cheeses, and meats, plus sweet and succulent fruit for lunch. A picnic on the shores of a stunning lake is presented as one of the best options.
Tap Water Is Safe and Delicious
Another tip is to avoid buying bottled water. Brits tend to buy bottle after bottle of water on holiday, but in Switzerland, the tap water is more than safe to drink and also delicious. The writer recommends grabbing a refillable bottle and using the tap.
While any holiday in Switzerland will still be expensive, being in such a magical place makes it worth it. The writer mentions an 8-day Goldenpass, Mont Blanc & Jungfrau Express trip from £2,799pp, available at greatrail.com.
