Goody Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Last time the bodor patrol took Euros for the road sticker, does everyone in Switzerland take Euros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Swiss border areas do accept Euros, but every time I get a feeling that I am being ripped off :XBut then, Switzerland is expensive (more so at the moment due to the devaluation of the Euro to the Swiss Franc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyk5614 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Almost all of Switzerland takes euros. Some petrol stations don't, but then they take cards. The CHF equals Euro at the moment though!Even the cashpoints offer euro notes though ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have a fee, plus load the exchange rateThe best bet is a nose through this to guide you to the cheapest way of spending overseashttp://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/overseas-card-charges#debit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
