Hi
In terms of currency, we have a visa debit card loaded with only Euro and GB pounds, without Swiss Franc.

Thus, for our 6 days visit to Switzerland, do you think we should get enough Swiss Franc to cover the trip? or we can pay most purchases in Euro?

Thank you

Annika

Hello Lion22. You can often pay in Euros, but not in all cases. So you should always carry Swiss Francs along, as that's the only currency accepted everywhere.
