Switzerland free travel
Because we like to travel freely, we plan everything by ourselves. Fortunately, Switzerland is a country with very complete public transportation. As long as you have a Swiss Travel Pass (STP for short), it is very simple. You can use it basically wherever you go. This time we went around Switzerland in a clockwise direction, but we are very useless people, so we didn’t have too many compact itineraries. Most of the time we just wandered around the streets and ate delicious food. If you like a packed itinerary, , you may need to read more introductions from others🤣Let me share the most important money first~
