    Thank you for all the informative in all videos about switzerland. It is really helpful. I've decided to visit lucerne and Zurich in my trip to switzerland.
    Is it more cheaper to buy train ticket from lucerne to Zurich in the station or in SBB app?

    • @AplinsintheAlps
      @AplinsintheAlps  Před měsícem

      So glad our videos have been helpful and that you've landed on where exactly you'd like to visit! The train tickets will cost the same at the station or on the SBB app. We typically recommend buying through the app so you don't have to keep up with a paper ticket but if you have questions about which tickets you need to buy, the workers at the train stations are very helpful!

Congratulations ! I truly believe you will become more and more popular. By the way, I was about to buy the hotelcard but turns out is only valid for specific countries in Europe. Not Mexico where we live 😢 is this accurate or any other options ? Thank you !

    • @AplinsintheAlps
      @AplinsintheAlps  Před 3 měsíci

      It really depends on what you're doing and where you'll be traveling. Some of the villages are car free and most of the time you cannot use a car to get up into the mountains.

      If you only stick to those cities/villages, then you can go everywhere by car. But train travel is so easy and scenic, and allows you to enjoy the journey without worrying about navigation, traffic, and parking. But it's really up to you!!

      @AplinsintheAlps  Před 8 měsíci

      In our experience, it’s very difficult to get a job and visa here as an American unless you work for a larger company. It was easier for us to move here because we have Italian citizenship.
