hello

we will be traveling from Italy into Switzerland, so we will be on the train for a few hours. Do the trains have food/drink? and do the take credit cards or should we have cash CF?

Thanks

Hi Jsully,

EuroCity trains have a restaurant, open from 6.30 a.m. to 9 p.m. InterCity trains often have a restaurant or bistro, or a mobile trolley selling snacks and drinks. If there are any catering facilities on a train, it will be indicated in the timetable.

If there is no information in the timetable about a restaurant, bar or mini-bar on the train, there will be no food or snacks available: this is usually the case with regional and local trains. There are usually a number of food outlets in the bigger railway stations, and often at least one shop or kiosk selling a few pre-prepared sandwiches, rolls or snacks in smaller ones.

They will accept credit cards, but there might be a minimum spend required.

Hi Jsully,

There has almost always been some issue when I try to pay with credit cards on trains. (Connection problems etc.) I would definitely have cash on me for the train. International trains will accept Euros as well.

In the end I find buying food at the train station a much better option (choice and quality).
