Switzerland has the best public transport in the world, and the most expensive. The "Swiss Travel Pass" (STP) promises unlimited travel. But for many UAE families doing a standard "Zurich > Interlaken > Geneva" route, it might be overkill.
Buy It IF:
- • You plan to visit 3+ cities in 4 days.
- • You want to visit museums (500+ are free).
- • You value "hop-on hop-off" flexibility over saving 50 CHF.
- • You are taking the scenic Glacier Express or Bernina Express.
Skip It IF:
- • You are staying in ONE region (e.g., just Interlaken/Grindelwald). Buy the "Berner Oberland Pass" instead.
- • You plan to rent a car.
- • You only have 2 days in Switzerland.
