Geneva - not for the shallow pocketbooks

by Pounder73 - last update: Jan 21, 2003

Geneva

Lake Geneva
As many of you have heard, Switzerland is one of the more expensive places in Europe, if not the most. I found that finding food for the budget traveler could be a daunting task. Someone told me, to find out how expensive a place is, go into the local McDonalds, and find out how much a meal will cost. That is a good barometer in prices for that area. Read: in Geneva, a meal cost roughly $10 USD’s, $11 for the larger sizes. But it is not hard to see where the money goes, you are paying for very friendly people and gorgeous scenery. I took day trips from Geneva to places like Gstaad, Montreux and Bern. Very different personalities, and all amazing train rides to see the countryside.

Pros:"Friendly people, breathtaking scenery, central location"
Cons:"Brings the funds, to have fun."
In A Nutshell:"Where the true locals goal was to intoxicate me."

 To be safe, pay in Swiss Francs. Change the cash not in a large bank, but in a small Currency Change shop, such as Change de Mont-Blanc (next main station,rue de Mont-Blanc) or GMT (rue Rousseau, opposite Manor). Rates are better than anywhere in Europe.
