Does your card work with ATMs? If the line is too long you can get a 20 franc note out of an ATM not too far from the machines. The ticket machines also take euro notes at a reasonable rate if you have any.
Good info to know THX, only problem is the change will probably be in CHF, which doesnt do me much good. Had it been in Euro it would be much better since I can always use it elsewhere unlike the CHF
My CC wont work at an ATM since I dont have a PIN attached to it but my banks DC does and I dont pay fees on either end, but same problem of being left with CHF as change.
If I was staying more then 1 night I most likely would have needed the CHF
My last time I stayed 2 nights was when Radisson gave us an extra night when using pts, got lucky as it was the end of winter parade and burning of the snowman, really enjoyed that. Anyway I went to The Titlis and used my CC for everything, met up with the same friend who took care of dinner. A great day over all
Is a tkt to/from the main train station in town also 13.60? Depending when time they get back that day maybe we will meet up in the old city for drinks instead. Wont know till I speak to him when I arrive to exactly what and where we will get together
