Swiss Franc · Fr. · CHF
Supermarkets give the best rate when paying in euros, so use one to turn euro notes into francs.
Shops often take euros, but at a poor rate and with change in euros, so francs are usually better value.
For a simple onward trip, single bus fares work out cheaper than the day pass.
Hotels are pricey; staying across the border in Feldkirch is usually cheaper.
