Zurich on a budgetShowHide
A day in Zurich costs £52.02 per person on the ground on a budget, before the flight, eating and drinking at the cheaper end of what places charge. At typical prices it is £64.89, and a day that does not watch the pennies runs to £92.68. The food and drink prices are real menu prices we read in Zurich on 22 Oct and 24 Oct, turned into pounds at the day's exchange rate, not guesses.
