    Would like to find out if anyone knows the tax refund process. We’ll spend a week in Germany before Switzerland and I believe we’ll do some shopping there. Do we get our tax refunds done in Germany or at Zurich airport where we’ll fly out? Whereabouts in Germany? Read somewhere that it can be done in train stations?

    Of course, Rockoyster 😁. Just trying my luck as many friends here travel across European countries and may have something to share about it. Thanks for the link though!
