Hi
I am planning to visit during september with my husband and I wish to have 4 days consecutive Swiss travel pass. My query is the how much will it cost me when I buy the pass right from the Zurich Main Reailway station.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Regards
Sara
Hi thanks for the prompt reply, however I am keen to know how much will it cost me if I buy from Zurich Station's vendor, I checked it online and it varies greatly, even it has booking fee, so it doesn't make sense. Need to know if I am purchasing right from the station will I be paying any booking fee amount which I notice on online sites.
Regards
Sara
The price on the SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) site is the correct price, direct from SBB, whose pass it is. Same price for buying at a stations as online:
Adults.
2nd class 1st class
3 days CHF 210 CHF 336
4 days CHF 251 CHF 402
8 days CHF 363 CHF 581
15 days CHF 440 CHF 704
If you buy the pass indirectly from anyone else, especially if they quote you a price in some other currency, it is likely that a mark-up has been added.
How are you getting to Zürich? If you are flying in, then you will be wanting to get your passes from Zürich Flughafen (=Zurich airport) station, not Zürich HB in the city centre.
Thanks for the reply I am flying to Zurich but as per some websites I can PRINT the Swiss Travel Pass on A4 paper
Thanks
Sara
Hi Sara,
I bought my 8 day travel pass from SBB directly and printed at home last week. This was the cheapest option, however it is best to use a credit card which offers no foreign transaction fee and make sure to buy it in CHF currency and not in dollars. ( sbb website will ask you which currency you want ). Let your credit card do the currency conversion.
Notify your bank that you are about to purchase from a foreign website or they will block your card.
Sara, A4 paper is close enough to 8-1/2x11 letter size that your regular printer paper will work -- I have printed DB and OEBB.AT tickets from home.
