Don’t forget to exchange Swiss Francs before travelling to Switzerland
Planning a trip to Switzerland? The first step is securing the local currency – the Swiss Franc (CHF). While Switzerland is a highly developed country, that doesn’t mean bank cards are accepted absolutely everywhere. It’s always a good idea to carry some cash during your visit. It’s also wise to plan a travel budget, as it gives you a better idea of how many Swedish Kronor (SEK) to exchange for Swiss Francs (CHF). Order your travel money at a great rate with ChangeGroup.
Practical advice for planning your budget
A typical tourist in Switzerland spends around 338 CHF per day. Accommodation costs around 86 CHF for a hostel and approximately 146 CHF for a 3-star hotel.
In Switzerland, it’s customary to round up the bill to the nearest franc or two. If the service is particularly good, tipping around 10% is appreciated.
If you plan to treat yourself to a restaurant meal or two while travelling, expect to pay between 14 and 39 CHF. Local and regional dishes include Älplermagronen, Rösti, Birchermüesli, Appenzell gingerbread, and other Swiss specialities.

When do you need cash in Iceland?
Iceland is a country where card and contactless payments are very well accepted. However, it is still useful to have ISK in cash during your stay to avoid any stressful situations.
If you plan to visit one of the country’s many craft markets, make sure to have Icelandic króna in cash, as some stalls will only accept cash payments.
Additionally, some areas outside the main tourist routes or far from major cities may require cash payments. Network coverage can also be quite poor, making card terminals unusable. Having ISK in cash is therefore an excellent way to ensure you can pay for purchases in any situation.
As a general rule, we recommend exchanging SEK to ISK before departure to benefit from the best exchange rates, and using cash to maintain control over your budget.

A few facts about the Swiss Franc (CHF)
Denominations of the Swiss Franc:
Banknotes: 10 CHF, 20 CHF, 50 CHF, 100 CHF, 200 CHF, 1,000 CHF
Coins: ½ CHF, 1 CHF, 2 CHF, 5 CHF, and 5, 10, 20 centimes
The official Swiss Franc, as we know it today, was introduced in 1850. Its abbreviation CHF comes from its Latin name Confoederatio Helvetica, and the ‘f’ stands for ‘franc’.
