Thank you for such an informative video. Can u plz tell me does saver day pass include boat ride as well?

[@SwitzerlandInsider]

Yes it includes boats

[@deepthidivakaran7128]

I am planning to travel to Swiz for 6 days.
Only first and last day ill need train pass between Zurich to Lauterbrunnen and last day betwen lucern to geneva.
Other 4 days planning to spend in and around Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Lucern.
So is BOB or Swiss Pass better?
Because with Berneroblerland pass i still have to take additional pass for first and last day.
I dont have a proper itinerary planned, so not sure how many times i might jop in & out so Half fare pass might be a little hectic I guess.

Great video! So if we don’t want to pay for the higher price of the scenic trains (or don’t care for the special huge windows), we can just buy the same route from the SBB app and the tracks and view would be the same?

[@SwitzerlandInsider]

Yes but you would need to change the train a couple of times

[@arzoo468]

Greg an odd question ❓...i am arriving early in the morning and the hotel would allow me to keep the luggage but any idea if there is a possibility of taking a shower before i go for the lindt museum tour that i prebooked for 12 pm noon

[@SwitzerlandInsider]

That’s a normal question! 😁 Yes of course there is! You can either shower at the airport in Zurich, but that is a bit costly. Or you can go to Seebad Kilchberg. That‘s a lido closeby the Lindt Museum. There you can go for a swim in Lake Zurich and take a shower afterwards, so you‘re all fresh for the museum! 😁 that‘s in summer only though!

[@arzoo468]

@@SwitzerlandInsider wow dats a great idea... thanks for the information 🙏😀

[@gilabola4642]

I stayed at 2 hotels and i could leave our luggages before checking in and after checking out on both for free. I wonder if all hotels would allow that.

[@SwitzerlandInsider]

You can often fo that but with the lockers you csn visit places away from your hotel like in a different town more easily!

[@gilabola4642]

@@SwitzerlandInsider you made a good point, because i remember one of the mistake i did happen when checking out. I had to return to interlaken to pickup the luggages, because i forgot that i could go to zurich via bern from kandersteg 🤣
