Hi Jinny! Thanks for watching :) No, we didn't get the swiss travel pass, I think that might be better for longer trips in Switzerland and for specific activities, but I didn't look too much into that due to the length of our trip and activities we wanted to do. Hope this helps!
Hi Angela! Thanks for sharing your wonderful video! I’ll be in Switzerland end of August :) I have a question about train rides, did you purchase them ahead of time or at the stations the day of travel? And did you buy a rail pass or individual tickets?
@@DinaraMufazalova-v2x Hi! Thanks for watching. We purchased them individually (I used the Trainline and Omio app), but depending how many trains you are planning to take, it might be worth it to buy a train pass. The shorter trains within Switzerland like from Interlaken to Grindelwald, I just purchased some the day of but the longer train rides for example from Interlaken to Zurich, I pre-purchased a few weeks before. Hope this helps!!
Thanks for all the info! Can you tell me how the SIM card works with your phone if it has an esim? Or did you mean an esim-in which case, how does THAT work? And where did you buy yours (I couldn’t understand the name you gave). Thanks again
Hello. Going to Zurich in July.. what would be your top 4 places you will recommend? Also did you do the Train pass? there are 4 Adults and 1 teen in our group, but we are on a budget.
Great video. In your opinion is navigating the train stations easy for someone who only speaks English? Do they have sings in English or make announcements in English? I'll be traveling alone just wondering what difficulties I might encounter.
A tourist trap I recently experienced was about Swiss railway (SBB) who tend to indiscriminately fine passengers who activated the Swiss pass just a little bit late with excessive fine. I was handed a 158 CHF fine ticket by the ticket controller without even asking me any question (e.g. if it was my first time). According to SSB website such a high fine should be for repeated offenders. Later, I found out the abusive habit of SBB ticket controllers from many internet groups and decided to make an in-person trip to the SBB office to complain (as the SBB tel line is always engaged). The funny thing was the staff in SBB office after hearing my case immediately and apologetically reduced my fine to 30 CHF. Instead of having time to sight-seeing, I spend a lot of my time in Switzerland complaining to SBB. This not only wasted a lot of my time but leave a really bad taste in my mouth. So watch out for this abusive action from SBB. Take care.
@@HazelF2000 Hey! Thanks for watching. So most of the big cities in Switerland (e.g. Geneva, Interlaken) have tourist guest cards that you can get from staying at most hotels that give you free access to local public transportation for uour entire stay. We used these to get around the cities mostly by bus or tram. Hope this helps!!
You've travelled 10 days' tourist spots in 5 days. It's better to wait few more days, save more money, then travel & experience everything so you don't need another vacation within vacation.

Hi! I use the Airalo app for my eSIMs usually. You can download it from any app store and access eSIMs to many locations. Hope this helps!
I love you Angela keep soaring higher❤❤

@@luisr6890 Switzerland is very tourist friendly, not a problem getting around with just English. Hope this helps!
Love your vlogs
@@snehaln29 thank you so much!!
Loved the blog!! Did you feel it wqs a right choice to stay in interlaken?
@@alejandrabustamante889 Yes absolutely, Interlaken was bh far the highlight of my Switzerland trip. Highly recommend staying if you can :)
which month did you visit switzerland
@@krishnakant2543 this was in august!
Hey Angela, what kind of credit card were u using? will American Express or Discover work there?
@@rushalidmello1275 Hi, I used my Mastercard when I was there because of the no foreing exchange fee, but Amex and Discover should work too!
Did you feel like that was enough days in Switzerland or would you ideally do more!! I am planning a family trip as well!
Yes, I do feel like 5 days was a good amount of time, but I probably would have spent less time in Geneva and Zurich and more time in Interlaken :)
@@AdultingwithAngela Thank you!! Love your videos btw, your channel is so underrated!!

I've travelled to Switzerland many times and never experienced this. We use the STP first class .
guest card? that makes you go to the public trains for free? i need further elaboration 😅

@@AdultingwithAngela amazing. this definitely helps considering how expensive switzerland is LOL. i imagine it also includes zorich as well?

Yes, I think in an ideal world, we would have the money for that haha Switzerland is a very expensive country to travel
