What should you bring when traveling to Switzerland?

1. International credit card: Generally, it is an international credit card with the visa or master logo. You must confirm with the bank that you can trade on foreign websites. It seems that if you don’t have a Swiss franc card, you should choose a euro card. If it is dual currency, when using it on a POS machine, the merchant may prompt whether to use euro or RMB DCC for settlement. It depends on the exchange rate and handling fee.

Be sure to keep your credit card safe when abroad. Many places can use it without a password. Immediately sign the back of the card after you get it. It is best to write down the card number and the bank's 24-hour service phone number elsewhere. If it is lost, report it immediately. Remember to apply for a credit card in advance, as you generally won’t be able to get it at that time.

2. Cash: bring less but must bring. Do not exceed the limit specified by customs, otherwise it will be very troublesome if you are caught. If you bring large amounts of banknotes, apply for a local card and deposit them immediately when you arrive at your destination. If you go to the store with large banknotes to buy small items, you will be looked down upon and rejected.

3. Clothing: Petite girls may wish to bring more clothes and shoes from home. Students who wear L in China may only be able to wear S when they go to Europe. Pants and bras are especially difficult to buy. Brands such as H&M and ZARA are also popular abroad. Swiss people love sports. Skiing, mountain climbing. Sportswear is essential, so it’s best to bring one.

4. Medicines. Be sure to bring regular medicines such as cold and anti-inflammatory drugs. You really can’t afford to wait to see a doctor in Europe. It is common to wait 2 to 3 hours in the emergency room. When you are anxious and uncomfortable, it is even more troublesome to communicate with the doctor clearly. Students who wear glasses should wear an extra pair for emergencies.

5. Don’t forget to bring the conversion plug. It is best to bring a universal plug when traveling to other countries. Don’t forget about power strips and batteries. Switzerland doesn’t have European standards. Neither does Germany. Remember to buy Swiss-standard plugs, Bulls has them. It is best to buy one with a somewhat flat diamond-shaped head, because the socket here is sometimes recessed.

6. Toiletries. You can bring a few more toothbrushes, and there are more options for electric toothbrushes. The toothpaste seems to be okay.

7. Waist bag: There are still a lot of thefts in Europe, and the chance of items being stolen in backpacks, shoulder bags, and handbags is at least 50%. So don’t put things like your passport in your backpack, shoulder bag, or handbag.
