I just came back from a short trip to Luzern, Grinderwald and Zurich. A couple of days is definitely too short to explore the beauty of this country! But my biggest mistake is not realising that my phone couldn’t roam. I had signal, but no data. I had no problem with this when I was in Italy and it was then I realised that Switzerland is not part of the EU. So a travel tip from me is to get an E-Sim (app) or a Swiss sim card in advance!

Regarding Interlaken it is not that much that it has value itself, I think its popularity is mainly because it is used as starting base to reach the real hotspots such as Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald First, Schilthorn or Lauterbrunnen which are all really great spots (very expensive though...)

You’re right! It is a good base for exploring the region. I’m not a huge fan of Interlaken but it does have some gems like the Harder Kulm and Niederhorn

Not to forget, when travelling by train, always ask for the scenic route although it may take a little longer to your destination.

[@CrickelTwaddle]

Hi Olivia, loved your video its very informative! I even read your blog but im still undecided on the pass type TT im travelling there for about 9 days and proceeding to main points like Mount Titlis, Matterhorn, Grindelwald and from town to town transfers. Would it be better to go for a half fare card then?

[@Olliechinny]

You can get a consultation with me www.Buymeacoffee.com/olliechinny and I can plan a bespoke itinerary for ur trip with the right advice for you. Thanks!

[@mikatu]

The halbtax card is only for residents. For your case the swiss pass seems to be the best or the railpass. Mount Titli is not a main point, there are much better than that, like Pilatus or Rigi.

[@HFH-Official]

Great video. What do you think about renting a car instead of getting a travel pass? I know gas is expensive but by having a car I won't feel limited if it makes sense. What's your opinion on this?

[@Olliechinny]

It depends on everyone’s preferences. If you prefer to be more carefree and go anywhere on a whim without relying on train schedules then go for it! However, budget wise: I think a car would only be worth it if it’s for a large group of 4 and above.

[@HFH-Official]

@Olliechinny I appreciate you responding. Based on all the videos I have seen, including yours, I think I will get the pass. Now, my next worry is how to take the trains/public transportation without getting lost or missing stops. Do you have such a video on your channel?

[@anggiichan]

Hi olivia. Thankyou so much for the info btw! I plan to go to Switzerland for 6 days and the next 6 days to another European country nearby, do you think i should get Swiss Pass + Eurail Pass or Eurail Pass only is ok?

[@Olliechinny]

You can get the Eurail pass for ur train travels however buses, trams and visits to attractions and cablecar rides would not be covered under the pass. You can combine it with the half fare card to get 50% off your local transport, attractions and cable cars.

[@Luigi-uj5ml]

Eurail and Interrail passes in France and Italy make little sense. In Italy, the places available for holders of these passes are limited. Furthermore, they do not entitle you to the ultra-discounted Economy and Super Economy fares, therefore the "service change" is always calculated on the full price. For international trains at market price (for example the Eurocity from Milan Central Station to Zurich), the cost of the ticket for the foreign section not covered by the pass is half the total price of the journey, even if it is uncovered for 2 km! For example, to travel from Como to Zurich, even though I have Interrail SWITZERLAND, I will pay half even though I am only discovered for the 2 km that separate Como from Chiasso. As far as Switzerland is concerned, if you don't intend to travel 24 hours a day, perhaps the Half Price season ticket is preferable, possibly accompanied by day passes, generally also valid on postbuses, steamers, urban trams, etc., as well as on certain foreign transport companies such as, for example, the Italian SSIF (Camedo transit - Domodossola

Very important to bring Swiss francs especially coins.

No,change machines around. So use bathroom at airport first

the weather is already quite hot at the moment (25+°C), it might get even hotter in July as it‘s one of the summer months. but it‘s right that if you go higher up, you‘ll need a jacket, ideally a light one that protects against winds as long as the sun is shining, and to be safe a pullover for underneath, just in case. other than that, July is a great month to travel, can be quite busy because of the summer holidays tho.

U are probably a larger group of 6-7 adults and hence the car rental cost was divided and cheaper.

With that being said, there’s always pros and cons to car or train so it depends on your travel needs :)
