// ABOUT THIS VIDEO //

Here’s the big question: IS SWITZERLAND EXPENSIVE?

The price might be one of the only reasons not to visit Switzerland. But here’s a reality check:
→ Switzerland CAN be expensive, but it doesn’t HAVE to be!

After spending months traveling Switzerland (and now living here), we’ve pulled together our best tips to help you visit Switzerland on a budget.

(Note: We've even included estimated savings you can expect using these 17 tips, based on the average cost of a 10 day trip to Switzerland.)
-
🏨 HOTELS IN SWITZERLAND
You gotta stay somewhere, but that doesn’t mean it has to cost more than 200 CHF per night! We use HotelCard to maximize our Swiss budget travels! HotelCard saves us up to 50% on hotels, with an average savings of 100 CHF per night. The best part is that you can view the available hotels BEFORE you even buy the card!

👉BUY THE SWISS HOTEL CARD HERE for 69 CHF: https://hotelcard.ch/en/aplins
*September 2023 update: The HotelCard now costs 69 CHF, but that price is still valuable enough to save 69+ CHF on your very first booking!
