Our First Time In Switzerland… And We Weren’t Ready!

Editorial Summary

The creators document their first trip to Switzerland, focusing on the high cost of living and the country's natural beauty. After flying with Swiss Air and witnessing the scenery of the Swiss Alps, they arrive in Zurich and encounter immediate expenses, including a significant hold on their credit card for a rental car. The creators explore the city, noting its resemblance to London and its high-end atmosphere filled with luxury designer brands. They participate in a guided tour that includes a bus ride, a car ferry, and a cable car trip to the mountains. While they find the mountain views and the experience of being above the clouds to be majestic and worth the trip, they are frequently surprised by the pricing of food and services. They highlight specific costs, such as a large fondue meal and even a simple basket of French fries, to illustrate the reality of Swiss prices. Ultimately, they conclude that while Switzerland is a beautiful bucket list destination, travelers should budget significantly more than they initially expect to account for the high costs.
