    HELLO SWITZERLAND!!! This is perhaps the world’s most expensive country… so I wanted to challenge myself and see how fast I could spend $1,000 by doing normal tourist activities. That means eating at normal restaurants, sleeping at normal hotels, and visiting normal sights. Can you guess how many hours my $1,000 lasted? Hint: less than 24!
    I just want to say that Switzerland is a great country - so pristine and beautiful - l and I hope to be back here again very soon!

    I wouldn't say the sticker is to drive legally, it allows you to use the highway for an entire year. You don't pay tolls in Switzerland, so if you are a resident, it's quite cheap.

    • @EliasLabordus
      @EliasLabordus 2 года назад +15

      But he does have a point that you will get a fine if you drive without one, thus making it illegal, right? But yeah it's not too bad. You just have to remember it when you cross Switzerland. Here in the Netherlands there is no tolls (except for a few highway tunnels in 'Old' Zealand). We do however pay a fee for every road using vehicle that you own. This will pay for the road maintenance, but also for services like getting you off the highway to a safe spot when you are stranded. All the best!

      actually it doesnt depend on the value of a currency. South korea has an incredibly weak currency 1$ = 1200 KRW and it is still very expensive. 1 jordanian rial is equal to 1.41$ but jordan is a very cheap country. it's about how rich the country is. the average swiss salary is 5.400$/month and 14.9% of the swiss population are millionaires. everything will be more expensive when everyone is rich.

    If you ever come back to Spain please visit one of these:
    -Granada: the last city to be under control of the moors, it has a beautiful islamic palace that is a unesco world heritage site
    -País vasco: this region in northern Spain has its own language and culture(although spanish is more commonly spoken) the language is in no way related to any other language in the world, I think it could be interesting for a video. It also has the beautiful lush green landscapes and mountains that can be commonly found throughout the north.
    -Cádiz: THE oldest city in the country with nice beaches and lots of history
    -Ceuta/Melilla: these two spanish cities are just like any other spanish city but are actually in northern africa, this means it has the EU’s most fortified border. I think this could be interesting for a video.

Often spend 2-300 CHF on a weekend of food and travel, attractions etc. Still an unbelievable country to visit and you can never get enough of the breathtaking scenery!

      For longer stays you have to buy a Halbtax for 165 CHF (even possible as a foreigner) which will halve all your ticket prices which is very worth it. Expect 40 CHF to go the neighbour city next door (20 CHF with Halbtax) and 100 CHF if you travel from one city to another (50 CHF Halbtax), one way. It's all based on distance/ number of districts you travel through.
