Travel Tips and Discounts
Guest Cards, Museum Passes and Public Transport Tickets
If you want to make the most of a family outing without breaking the budget, it’s worth getting a guest card or a combined ticket for museums and public transport. Often, these guest cards combine admission for regional attractions with free travel on public transport. Sometimes they even include discounts on shopping or meals.
Zürich Card
Free travel on all public transport, free or discounted admission to most museums, even discounts on shopping in selected stores and small culinary surprises at participating restaurants – the Zürich Card offers all this to budget-conscious city explorers.
Family Pass
All aboard! Explore the Children’s Region with the Schweizerische Südostbahn this summer. With the “Family Pass” for CHF 65 (2nd class, half-fare card), you benefit from two return journeys to exciting family destinations as well as various leisure discounts and goodies.
