Thanks Used to be in Zurich every fortnight for work and used my debit card for everything (public transport, food, coffees, beer etc.). On occasional times I wanted some cash I just picked up some francs in one of the many ATMs when I arrived at the airport or main station - but I’d often end up coming home with the cash untouched.

Thanks mate, I wasn’t sure how the charges would be on my Mastercard and thought it would easier to manage the money I took with cash but may just use my card then.

Thanks The answer is Monzo or a similar credit/debit card tailored towards travelling. You get the full currency exchange rate for purchases with no transaction fees or exchange fees and you can also withdraw a limited amount of cash, also at the full exchange rate. Unfortunately you’ve probably left it a bit late to get one. Next option would be to check with your bank what they are going to charge you for foreign transactions or cash withdrawals. Some banks kind of match what Monzo do now. Just be careful with ATM’s and check the rate before you press go. You can get a really poor rate if your not careful. To be safe use ATM machines which are inside or attached to a proper bank. Generally I’ll withdraw a small amount of cash when I first get to a place (not at the airport)for small things like tips etc. everything else I use the card for. Most places in Switzerland will also take Euros in cash but a pretty poor exchange rate would probably make that not worth your while.

Set up a Chase account. Your card may or may not arrive in time, however, you will be able to set up Apple pay for Chase and use that.

richiehmfc Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I was just looking at where the stadium is in St Gallen, looks on the outskirts of town. I would assume the Hearts fans will gather in the Old Town which is 6km from the stadium. It also appears the stadium is basically in an industrial estate/ ikea/shops etc. Think if we had built a stadium at straiton. The club website does have some handy info though, including that it is free to travel on public transport with a match ticket Free ride to the game All tickets include free travel in 2nd class in the entire OSTWIND fare network (cantons SG, TG, AR, AI, GL, SH plus the Principality of Liechtenstein) 3 hours before and after the game. 3 bus lines go directly to the kybunpark Gossau - kybunpark (Arena St.Gallen stop) - St.Gallen train station (line 151) Herisau - Winkeln - kybunpark (Arena St.Gallen stop) - Abtwil Säntispark (line 158) Extra bus from the St.Gallen train station to the kybunpark Departure from the edge of the event on the south side of the train station Winkeln train station within walking distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All counties should be following the German model when it comes to integrating public transport. People rave about it although I haven't been in Germany for more than 30 years. Mind you, the tax burden looks horrendous so you would want some sort of return. A Europe wide integrated transport system would be something to strive for. Although the UK may be excluded. It would make European trips a lot easier 😀. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModJambo Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Might hold off on booking the trains from Zurich to St Gallen. Maybe if you have a match ticket you can get free travel. Here's my itinerary for anyone that's interested: Edinburgh - Turin 16/08. Spending one night in Turin. Turin - Milan 17/08. Heading to Milan early. Going to do the San Siro tour before it goes. Milan - Zurich 17/08. After seeing what I want to see in Milan heading up to Zurich where we'll be spending a night. Zurich - St Gallen 18/08. The big day. Head over to St Gall early doors and hopefully meet up with some other fans. Spending the night in St Gallen before we make our way back to Milan for our return flight on the Saturday.
