A visit to Zurich, the beautiful city in Switzerland, is every tourist’s dream. Apart from being beautiful, Zurich is also the world’s most expensive city. The city has been termed as the world’s most expensive by none other than the readers of the famous magazine ‘The Economist’. This means that only the rich can afford to visit this amazing destination. After all, is Zurich also ready to welcome budget travelers? Ask a budget traveler who had already been to Zurich. And, pat comes the reply! The city is as much accommodating for the budget travelers as it is for affluent tourists.
If you are a traveler planning to visit Zurich on a budget, then just go ahead and book your flights to Zurich now. This splendid city holds lots of surprises and myriad attractions for those who want to enjoy all that is on offer here, and yet not spend much on your travel. A few tips would be helpful to those who are on a budget travel to Zurich.
The first priority for a budget traveler is to get an accommodation that is not too pricey. The biggest concern obviously is getting a cheap place for stay, which may sometimes become rather difficult to get. It is always wise to book your hotel room ahead as soon as you plan for your vacation. If you want to save a lot on your accommodation and spend the amount later on other recreations here, then try booking a hostel stay. These are cheap and don’t cost much. Some of the good budget options here include H.I. hostel, Longstreet Hotel, Hotel Biber and City Backpacker. These accommodations particularly focus on backpackers and are obviously the best for them.
Another major concern for those on budget travel is how to save on food costs. Eateries might turn out to be quite expensive here. Try to save as much as you can on your food. Some tourists spend a great deal on buying bottled water throughout their stay. There are 1,224 public fountains in the city, having water quality better than bottled water. So, you can save by getting water free of cost from these fountains.
Spending on transportation within the city is another major irritant for those traveling on a budget. If you want to explore the city by yourself, it is a good idea to rent a bike for free. These bikes are available in front of the main train station all round the year at Zuri Rolt, or at various locations around the city in the summer. If you are ready to pay a small amount as deposit, you can also rent an electronic bike. When traveling with kids, you can even rent kids’ bikes or adult bikes with children’s seats.
Investing in a Zurich Card for 24 hours or 72 hours is also a good idea to gain free entrance into most of the world class museums in Zurich, getting discounts at shops, and getting free rides on all boats, funiculars, buses, trains and trams at Zurich.
