NEVER ask this question in Switzerland

Avoid these questions in Switzerland and your Swiss life will be easy. If you are an expat in Zurich or tourist in Interlaken you know that the Swiss economy is probably doing well. Nevertheless, in Switzerland you should avoid questions about money. It's bad etiquette and not in our Swiss culture. In order to avoid this cultural faux pas, we have a solution for you. Simply ask us anything you would like to know. Like this we can keep your culture shock small and you will know what is expensive and what is cheap in Switzerland.

It is hard to say where our system of not talking about Swiss Francs comes from, but it is in place. Part of the reason could be that there is a lot of negotiations going on especially for apartments, salaries or your car. This is special, as though if you look at our day to day life, the Swiss are very precise and thorough.

What you could try is to find out about certain things elsewhere like on the internet or ask general questions about a subject and then figure out yourself how much things cost in Switzerland.

Although there is haggling here and there, you probably will not encounter it as a tourist. And that’s cool. Like this you can focus on the real riches of Switzerland and that is our impeccable nature, our clean air and water and our safety.

Enjoy Switzerland and don’t forget to write your own Swiss story.
