At Bla Bla Car and free attractions and entrances, these money-saving tips for Switzerland will keep your wallet happy!

1. Look for deals.

Money-hungry travel merchants take advantage of visitors to Switzerland by exploiting harvested data to present only those prices which they know you're willing to pay, taking full advantage of them to make profits. So how can visitors thwart these merchants at their own game?

Consider staying in a hostel. They're more cost-effective than you might imagine and offer incredible locations across Switzerland with dorm beds costing half as much as hotel rooms.

Hostels offer affordable food options and are an ideal place for meeting fellow travelers and sharing transport deals with them. Couchsurfing hosts in Switzerland may even be found here! Or if traveling for business use your hotel status to secure free nights - they add up quickly!

2. Ask for a discount.

Switzerland may be one of the more expensive European countries, but you can have an enjoyable trip there even on a tight budget. Look for hotel discounts, travel passes and local transportation deals to maximize savings on accommodation, food and alcohol expenses.

Membership discounts are an effective way of saving on hotels in Switzerland and worldwide. Insurance providers, banks and car clubs often provide membership discounts; while labor unions, professional associations and neighborhood associations also frequently provide them.

3. Look for membership discounts.

Switzerland may be known for being among the world's most expensive countries, yet remains extremely accessible. Its legendary public transportation system connects even remote mountain villages and hamlets easily; for visitors planning on covering lots of ground quickly a Swiss Travel Pass may prove invaluable; similarly priced regional passes may also provide exceptional value.

Loyalty program discounts can be an incredible money saver here; hotel chains like Accor offer their Live Limitless hotels at discounted rates with additional benefits. Other membership discounts such as those provided by your health insurer or bank might also be worth investigating.

Many cities offer city passes that provide free public transportation and discounted admission to museums. Furthermore, bring along a reusable water bottle to save on buying plastic bottled water from stores; simply fill up from the faucet free of charge to reduce environmental impact!

If you want to save on hotel costs, if possible check in a little later than anticipated. Front desk staff know which rooms are free at any given time, as well as being more likely to offer room upgrades than otherwise.
