Our plane arrives Zurich at 1830. We have a hotel on Binzmuhlestrasse in Zurich. I see that there is service (rail/bus) from airport to walking distance to our hotel. Can you tell me if I will need CHF to pay for the fare or can I use a credit card in a kiosk to obtain a ticket. We have a 4 day rail pass but it starts the next day.

Hello Nobigdeal and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

You can buy tickets at a ticket office or at a machine and pay with credit card.

Or before you arrive you could use the highly-recommended SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) to buy tickets. Just show them on your phone.

As usual, Rockoyster has answered your question, precisely and well.

However, you’ll need to carry some CHF, including coins, during your trip.

Thank you both for the app info and coins. I’ll have paper franks so will look for a change machine. I have an itinerary ? Next but will post in the appropriate forum.

I think you’ll find them near the banks of lockers in Zürich main station.

Or, you can buy something small from a convenience shop -Kiosk, Aperto, Volg and pay with paper money to get some change, as well.

Here are places to change money but I don’t think they help with getting coins.
