So just how expensive is Zurich for a traveller ? I mean specifically

>>1174512
Very. If you have been to Oslo, expect it to be about similar.

t. Zuricher

Food and drink are very expensive. A 9 Franc beer is not out of the question. Street food is a bit cheaper. I was there a few weeks ago and we survived on street sausage. That said it's a really cool city worth visiting.

The only thing that is not overexpensive is the trolley, think it's about the same price per day as in London.

Eating at a restaurant goes from 30 to 60 CHF (just main course and drinking)
Beer is 7 for 0.5l at a bar

I've been to Oslo and Stockholm but that was before I got used to London prices so dont really remember.

>>1174554
Is 9CHF the standard though ? I mean you can find that in London but people would still think you're a fuckhead for charging that much.

When you say street food what do you mean exactly - from kiosks/carts ?

Anything in particular I shouldn't miss there (I plan on taking some suggestions from wikitravel) ? Im only there for 24 hours and only because of a concert.

>>1174556
Beer price is like London then, but honestly I thought it would be cheaper....

From 30CHF for food though - seriously ? Even for local food ?

>>1174560

You can get beer from the supermarket for 1 CHF.
Bars/Restaurants have the biggest margins on drinks, so it's that high.

30 CHF is mid range. You get cheaper stuff from kebab stands (15 CHF with drink). Or Sandwiches from Markets. They pricey stuff is meat. If you don't eat meat, things will get alot cheaper.

Zurich has a lot of ripoffs

>>1174561
I don't eat meat, but will i find things in local restaurants ? I just want rösti desu

How about you save money by not drinking beer?

>>1174562

lel, i guess there are more restaurants with italian, thai or indian food than swiss.

Hit up a restaurant rankings like tripadvisor, put in zurich, category traditional european food, rank by price like $ vs $$$$, and look for a few that have their menus online and take a peek at the prices. Or you type "best rosti" and you end up on some rankings and find little charmers like this 15th century monastery....where rosti is USD$1 in the exchange rate. Doesn't seem a bad deal.

What am I, muslim ?

>>1174568
Tofu never screams m8. I would prefer a Swiss place, but will have to see. Anyway I'm only going because of the concert, I have in my mind that Zurich will be about as interesting as frankfurt, or is that unfair ?

>>1174574
Cheers m8

Zurich is not as boring as Frankfurt, but it doesn't have that much either. The nicer and more interesting things are outside of Zurich. If you're going to spend a day in Zurich, take a cruise on the lake, and maybe go to the zoo, it's a nice one. A good daytrip is Luzern, much prettier than Zurich, and about one hour away by train.
