OT: Paging Ace (and other Swiss types)
|
Question from colleague:
"Are Euros widely accepted in Switzerland?"
|
Widely, yes - universally, no.
|
Quite. And only as a last resort, really, at an unfavourable rate and
getting francs as change. Much better to work in francs.
|
Stolen nazi gold, exchanged at the border. YKIMS.
|
Your cashpoint card should work, though.
|
|
|
Widely accepted, including automated 24hr patrol machines which don't
rip you off too much, IIRC. The closer to the border you are the more
likely they'll be accepted.
|
His son't going there on holiday, and we wants to know if he needs to
take Swiss francs.
|
I think it'd be worth getting some out of an ATM on arrival, but stick
with using cards wherever possible (and that's nearly always, even for
small amount like a couple of beers) to avoid charges.
