When Should You Choose the Swiss Travel Pass?  

• You plan to take multiple trains, buses, or boats within a few consecutive days—unlimited rides.  
• Your itinerary involves daily travel, including both long and short distances.  
• You want free access to museums, parks, and city transportation.  
• You prioritize convenience—no need to buy tickets each time or calculate discounts.  You plan to take scenic trains like the Glacier Express or GoldenPass Line (seat reservations required at additional cost).  

Ideal for first-time visitors staying in Switzerland for more than 3–4 days and visiting many destinations.  

When Should You Choose the Half-Fare Card?  

• You have a flexible schedule and don’t use public transport every day.  
• You’re staying in one specific region like Jungfrau or Lucerne.  
• You plan to rent a car and only use public transport occasionally.  

Best for experienced travelers with a relaxed itinerary who prefer to purchase tickets as needed.  

You Can Mix and Match:  

• For example:  Use a 3–5 day Swiss Travel Pass during busy travel days  
• Switch to a Half-Fare Card for the rest of the trip when travel is lighter  This combination gives you both savings and flexibility.  

!Family Tip: Traveling with kids? Don’t forget to request a Swiss Family Card—children aged 6–15 can travel for free with a parent holding a valid pass.
