If you're only traveling within Switzerland, the Swiss Travel Pass is definitely the simplest and most convenient option!
Once purchased, the Swiss Travel Pass lets you hop on trains, buses, and trams without needing to worry about individual tickets—except for some scenic trains that require reservations. You’ll also enjoy additional benefits like museum admissions and cable car discounts!
While the Eurail Pass can also be used in Switzerland, it's slightly more complicated to operate. It offers fewer discounts on mountain excursions and does not cover city transportation—making it less convenient for travelers who are only staying in Switzerland.
