What to bring from Switzerland
This travel video is part of a series of Switzerland videos in 4K Ultra HD (which also are my Switzerland travel diary) will hopefully provide some answers to these and more questions you may have: What to buy in Switzerland and what not to buy? What are the best souvenirs in Switzerland? Which chocolate to buy in Switzerland? Which Swiss souvenirs make good presents? What to bring from Switzerland?
This video is about souvenir shopping in Switzerland. It’s difficult to ignore the many Swiss souvenir shops and displays here in Switzerland. So if you are interested in what to buy in Switzerland and what to bring back from your vacation in Switzerland, check out this video. I recommend of course Swiss chocolate, Swiss knives, the iconic Victorinox red Swiss knife for example, Swiss watches, Swiss Fondue, Swiss Rosti, Swiss Raclette, hot chocolate, cowbells, fridge magnets and many other items that are typical Swiss. Of course this selection is by no means complete and only presents a very subjective view of what I came across during my travel in Switzerland and what I found interesting to capture on video. I am roughly organizing the Switzerland souvenir shopping tips from least expensive to most expensive. So please stick around to the end of the video to get the full overview.
Please also check out my other travel videos on my travel to Switzerland, including my trip to Grindelwald and the surrounding mountains and valleys of Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, the Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Switzerland, Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt and so much more. So please subscribe to my channel and hit the notification bell for updates on my weekly new videos on Switzerland and other amazing travel destinations.

Nobody seems to mention the winding spring-wound Music Boxes, made in Switzerland. They are a unique souvenir too.

Hi everyone, this week I have a bit of a different video for you. Many of you have asked what to buy in Switzerland and what are some typical souvenirs to bring. So here’s a very subjective selection of items I’ve come across while traveling in Switzerland 🇨🇭. Have a great week!
Hi
Nice episode, Janus👍🏻😊 You’ve organised its content really well. Lindt! My favourite chocolate though I must be frugal about it here. And love those cute figurines too🐮☺️. A friend ever bought for me a Victorinox nail clipper which I found super cool coz it can be folded flat. Thank you so much for all your hardwork putting together videos of Switzerland. We truly appreciate them😊☺️🌻
Thank you Aishah, I just bought some Lindt chocolates too. The selection is not as large as in Switzerland but we have a few flavors in the US too 😊👍
Great job! Really like the content you make, always beautifully shot and informative. Watching from Oklahoma, US.
Thank you very much Gaugdog, I really appreciate! Greetings to OK 👍
Thanks for giving us an idea that's very helpful!! 🙂🙂🙂
You are most welcome Toni 👍
The goat's beard is better than my hair, lol. Always great to watch your videos, Smiley Janus. Greetings from 🇧🇷❣
Thank you very much Alecma . Yes, that goat looks quite lovely right? 😀🐐
Greetings to Brazil 🇧🇷🌺
Thank you, this year I will visit this country and I didn't know what to bring to my country. God bless you and let you travel more ❤
Thank you 👍🌺
As souvenirs from Switzerland, I would buy a cool Freitag bag (Swiss company, Swiss innovation), a typical Swiss railway clock (the one with the red hand - in any size you prefer), a pair of On shoes (Swiss engineered and produced), a gorgeous Mammut outdoor softshell (Swiss company and Swiss made), a Barryvox avalanche search and rescue device and a pair of Stöckli skis.
These are great ideas Chris! Thank you for sharing 👍🇨🇭
Another great video! Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you Dirk, I have a bunch of great videos coming up on 🇦🇹 and 🇨🇭
@@januslog That's good news. Thanks!
@@djfc1962 wishing you a great weekend 👍
Thank you Janus for new video.I like shoping very much and l love chocolate.Selam from İstanbul🌅🎇😀
Thanks for watching again Fatos and greetings to Istanbul. I miss the good Turkish food there 👍
Hello!Thank you for your great video👍
Thank you very much Samsufy, I’m glad you enjoyed 👍🌺
Beautiful tips .I remember this Lindt in Jungfrau inside .thank you for your video
Thank you for watching again Phitaly 👍🌺
@@januslog your welcome
Nice informative video. A couple of notes:
Ovaltine is in the export version with added sugar, in Switzerland without sugar.
The fact that the "soldier's knife" is red is only partially true; for a long time it was also "silver" (aluminum with a red / white Swiss cross). Not only to be recommended as a souvenir but as a daily practical tool.
I can only agree with the less recommendable souvenirs (like the cuckoo clock), that doesn't have too much to do with Switzerland.
Another tip for a practical product might be the SIGG bottle.
Thank you for this great additional info! I did indeed forget the SIGG bottles - I have one and it is great 👍😊
1:37 PRALINOR! My all-time favorite Swiss Chocolate!
(as a 47yo Swiss Chocoholic, I know about good chocolate...)
I was born in Bern in 1966 but lived in Büren until we moved to the states 8 years later, and I believe I have Nutella running through my veins. My favorite Swiss chocolate is Hazelnut Ragusa, they are so smooth and creamy. Since we had moved to the states I have not seen any of my Swiss relatives in 40+ years, but 7-8 years ago my uncle and his family contacted us because they were coming to the USA for a month long family trip, with a stop to Washington state where I currently live. When they came to our house they had a gift for us which was full of Swiss chocolate including my favorite Ragusa. I told my family you can have all of the other chocolate but thanks off my Ragusa. I’ve since ordered them off of Amazon.
When I got married I bought all of my groomsman Swiss Army knifes for their gifts
That’s really awesome! Thank you for sharing 👍

Thank you Piyush, I really appreciate

Thank you 👍😊
Again, thank you for video. I did buy some Swiss Knifes as gift and for myself. However, as a chocolate lover I did not buy Lindt chocolate because I can buy them in US. Did not know they have good hot chocolate but will buy next time in Switzerland. Maybe Amazon has the hot chocolate the hot chocolate that you have mentioned😋
Thank you Jun, that’s true but I must say I found so many Lindt chocolate flavors that I’ve never seen in the US. They don’t seem to export everything
Thank you x

Really like this one Janus! As you have mentioned it is different but entertaining to a guy who likes souvenirs as gifts and personal memory tokens. I think I'll wear my Switzerland beenie cap today that I purchased at the lookout above Interlaken. Cheers my friend.
Hi Ed, I’m glad you enjoyed this one. It’s fun to remember trips by some of the simple things one gets during a travel. Great idea to get a beenie 👍😊

Hi new friend 🤝🔔🔁➡️🤳
@@namphanvlog6771 Hi Nam, thanks for watching again 👍😊
Hi thanks for the lovely video. Can i know which part of switzerland is the vitronix knife and the watches shop. Is it is zurich or geneva. As i m amking my trip early oct.
Thank you for watching. The shops were in the Bernese Oberland but you will definitely also find them in Zurich and Geneva. Wishing you a great trip 👍
Mostly I buy fridge magnet when I travel. But I can't get enough of the yummy swiss chocolate too:) Thank you for sharing. Now I have more options what kind of swiss souvenirs I could buy:)
Thank you Dina, I’m glad you found this video helpful 👍🌺🌷
🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for watching Sam Sam 💐🇨🇭
Very informative video, Sir. Can you tell me in which place in Switzerland you will get the items mentioned in the video at reasonable rates? Any information on places to be visited?
Thank you
You find them in most cities and more touristic places. Reasonable prices are unfortunately very difficult to come by in Switzerland.
For milk chocolate with nuts, Migros M-Budget is Best!
Great tip! I like that one too 👍😋
My 👍
Nice
Thank you Tadej and greetings to beautiful 🇸🇮
@@januslog Thank you very much, it's a pity because we are so far away, we could get together for coffee and talk for a long time about Switzerland and the Middle East, about the topic of catarrh and you and me are interested !!
@@januslog Are you perhaps still in Austria or Switzerland?
@@travel-putovanjatadejsluga9990 no, this was recorded during my trip there last year. I was however in Slovenia this summer and will share my videos from that trip in the coming months. I’m back home in the US now
@@januslog Great Beautiful Too bad we didn't get in touch earlier. Greetings to America and I wish you all the best!
Any small mom and pop Swiss watch shops that build watches?
When you buy souvenires from Switzerland, you have to be careful, some souvenirs has a tag design made in Switzerland not made in Switzerland. Design made in Switzerland comes mostly from ,China, Vietnam or another countries. The Shoe company On produce in Vietnam, its only one exemple I saw also travel bags from Wenger, on the Bag i saw tag with Design made in Switzerland, and much smaller i can read made in China. But by Swiss Army, Knife, Chocolate, Watches and some Handcraft stuff you are sure its made in Switzerland.
Thank you for the additional info, very useful
Switz chocolate is the best. A friend brought some over from Switzerland and its 100 times better than aussie chocolate.
I agree, the Swiss chocolate is amazing 😋👍
I want to live there. I eat Chocolat every days 🍫🍫😂😂😋😋
That’s the one thing that’s very cheap there 😅
I had lots of chocolate when I was in Switzerland
Where are the cheapest places in Zurich to buy souvenirs like magnets or keychains or any other small souvenirs? Are there any souvenirs for 1 Swiss Franc like keychains? Are postcards cheap there? We will be going around the Grossmunster area. Thanks for your assistance.
Hi, you will unfortunately likely not find anything for 1 SFR in Switzerland. The best places tend to be discount stores like Aldi or Lidl. I’d buy the chocolate there and sometimes they have deals on souvenirs. But it depends on what you’re looking for.
@@januslog Thanks for your response. How much are postcards in Switzerland?
@@figureskating2724 It probably depends on where you buy them and there may be differences in quality but you will have to count between 2-3 CHF per card.
@@januslog Wow, things are expensive in Switzerland. We got about 3 for a 1 euro in Italy. We were able to get items for 1 euro or around $1 US Dollar in Rome and Pisa and Vatican City. We actually got magnets and keychains and little statues for 1 euro. It sounds more expensive in Switzerland even for postcards. Thanks for your help.
Gostaria de saber que parte da Suíça é essa?
This was recorded in Zermatt
Is there second-hand watches ??
I’m very sure there are but I didn’t visit them when I was there.
Qtas delícias! Boa noite! Obrigado!
Thank you for watching Menilda 🌷
The Toblerone that are sold in the US are not good.
Where is a good place to get a authentic Swiss flag?
I’m not a flag quality expert but you can pretty much buy them anywhere. Many curio shops will have them
"Montblanc" isn't a Swiss brand ...
Mont Blanc are German made not Swiss
Thanks for the clarification! I indeed thought they were a Swiss company
