Switzerland uses the Swiss Franc (CHF) as its currency. Travelers can use both cash and cards; however, credit and debit cards are widely accepted, especially in cities and larger establishments, making card payments convenient. Cash is still useful for small purchases, local markets, or remote areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Bern, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old Town and public transportation. Common scams include distracting tactics used by groups to steal wallets or phones. It's advisable to keep belongings secure and be wary of overly friendly strangers offering unsolicited help or deals. Additionally, avoid unlicensed taxi services to prevent overcharging. Overall, Bern is a safe city, but usual urban vigilance is recommended.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
