    • All major credit cards and travellers' cheques are accepted in Switzerland. No commission is usually charged for converting cash or cheques, but you should shop around for the best rates (hotels usually have the worst rates). Train stations are usually the best place for exchanging money and they are open for long periods. City banks are open Mon- Fri 8.30am to 4.30pm

    Tipping : is not usually necessary at hotels, bars and restaurants which already charge a 15% service charge.

    • The alphorn is a musical instrument once used by shepherds in the alps as a way of communicating. It has been around for some 500 years. It later developed into a musical instrument and has even appeared in works by Leopold Mozart and Brahms.

    • If you are on a tour you will inevitably do the 'folk show and dinner'... This actually ended up being a lot of fun. Dinner was served with everyone sitting at long bench tables with huge steins of local beer to try. It got noisy but no one really cared by the end of the night.
