Transportation

You can find rental cars fairly inexpensively. This is a good option if you want to take a more relaxed day trip out of the city or if you are wanting to get to some great outdoor activities not easily accessible by train. However, I would still recommend the rail pass because of its ease of use across multiple types of transportation (bus, ferry, and train) and free museum admission. Swiss trains go just about everywhere, and if not, then there will usually be a bus.

If you’re still looking for cheap flights, keep checking the discount sites. Skyscanner is my fave. Grab their app and get ready to find the best price!

Remember, the Swiss Rail Pass offers 480 ways to save.

Lodging

House sitting has become my favorite way to afford lodging. Check it out and find what best fits your family’s needs. You could save thousands of dollars on your next vacation!

Family-friendly hostels and apartment/flat rental are great options for those traveling with kids. Having a place to unwind and enjoy a hot meal while a tired kiddo relaxes can turn a good travel day into a GREAT travel memory.

Yes, You Need Travel Insurance!

Not sure why you need travel insurance? Check out The Mini Travel Planning Course to understand more.

RoamRight.com offers great travel insurance to fit all your travel needs.

Finally, I barely scratched the surface of all the great things there are to do when you visit Switzerland. But with a rail pass and a few fun excursions and outdoor activities, my fellow travel junkies are already packing their bags and booking tickets.
