"Money" Lucerne Local Custom Tip by keeweechic

Lucerne Local Customs: 23 reviews and 26 photos

 
 

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.

Review Helpfulness: 2 out of 5 stars
