    Are there any advantages to buying the STP before leaving USA or just buy when we arrive?

    1. You get to use it immediately on arrival

    2. No queueing at a ticket shop.

    3. You have both an electronic and paper backup in the event you loose or damage it.

    4. You can show it on your phone (but always carry a paper copy just in case).

    Hello Cagey,

    Rockoyster has mentioned all the advantages, it definitely makes sense to buy the Swiss Travel Pass before arrival, however, it’s not mandatory.
