Cheese and chocolate must be brought from Switzerland! Or a watch, if you wear one. As for the currency, unfortunately, I don’t know, since they paid by card, but you can definitely leave a tip in euros, you won’t be offended.

The points.
1. You can bring cheese from Switzerland, for example, but not for your own consumption, but a little for a gift, because. in Switzerland, cheese, like everything else, is grossly overpriced. I do not advise chocolate, because. the same as everywhere else but 2-3 times more expensive. Since Switzerland is a very expensive country, from the point of view of own consumption, there are no goods with an acceptable price. As noted above, it is better to buy in neighboring countries. As a gift, you can also take fondue cheese.
2. You can pay Euro only in hotels, but at their exchange rate, which is not very profitable. And so the calculation is only in national currency.
3. In restaurants, prices are very, very high. I took my “tourist” set with me on a trip - bread, alcohol, olives, to sit with colleagues on the balcony in the evening, as an alternative to a restaurant.

By the way, in addition to cheese, chocolate and watches, knives are also considered a good souvenir.

Chocolate from Switzerland is a must.
But, only, not the one in duty free.
And the real one.
From a small town. where you will rest.

Gee, naive people :) I work with chocolate, and was incl. in Switzerland and in many other countries on business trips on this issue :)
This chocolate is in chocolate makers, as well as in chocolate shops of svitoch - factory production. Chocolate makers buy it in the form of granules in bags of 20 kg, melt it down and pour it into their molds. They can sprinkle it with colored sprinkles, nuts, etc. Or make sweets with fillings, which they also buy factory-made in 10-kg containers.
When I went into one of the chocolate shops without removing the tag with the logo of the manufacturer whose chocolate they use, I was greeted like a native :)
Svitoch-chocolate girls generally consider people to be suckers. The granules are poured from the bag into the melter right in front of the visitors, behind a glass wall. People really don’t know what it is, but I see a red bag with a familiar manufacturer’s logo :)
So there is the same as in the store, in terms of quality. Due to the fact that they pour it into their own forms, decorate it and pack it in beautiful bags, the markup in price is somewhere around 300-400%. The same applies to the so-called. "Belgian chocolate", only there the wrapping is even more. factory 100 km from Brussels in total.

The taste is made to order, according to the specific wishes of the customer. The customer wants a milky creamy taste, or a more pronounced cocoa with bitterness - yes please. The arsenal of the factory that supplies chocolate to chocolate makers - about 30 items, there are plenty to choose from. If this is a chain of chocolate makers, and they want some special chocolate in sufficient volume to load arbitrary capacity (usually from 20 tons), they will make it for them. But the little chocolate maker has a small sales volume, so they are content with what is available.
Also, chocolate consumers in different countries prefer a slightly different taste, respectively, in Germany it is better to be sweeter, in Belgium - more "chocolate", in England more caramel, etc.
Not a single chocolate maker produces chocolate on her own, it's too complicated and expensive, and there's nothing for it - tourists understand chocolate a little better than a pig in oranges :) They will buy everything, the main thing is to be in a beautiful place and in a beautiful bag. Subconsciously, chocolate bought at a high price, in a beautiful place and with the association of a pleasant trip, will taste better than the same chocolate bought in a supermarket near the house. We are ready to overpay for emotions, not for quality.

kolyan_cat,
And why did Swiss chocolate hurt you so much,
that you do not recommend bringing it?
Oh, those food workers are salesmen... ..
All they know and all them wrong.
Yes, of course, it's nice, sitting at the foot of the Matterhorn, in a small chocolate bowl, to drink a cup of hot chocolate, with a delicious chocolate krausan!
Try it!
P.S. And do not think that somewhere at home, in a supermarket - it will be cheaper.
And so: I will not buy it for anyone!

I do not recommend buying it exactly as chocolate for yourself in reserve - because. like chocolate, it is the same as in the store, it makes no sense to overpay.
But just sitting at a table in Brussels, in a pleasant company - why not :) In this case, you do not buy chocolate, but emotions, here the price / quality of chocolate does not matter, much more important is the mood, environment, companions who share with you this ritual.
Well, or as a gift to someone - it is also possible, a few euros and the person feels your care and, moreover, beautiful packaging, nice.

I still don’t understand, we answered the TS or argued with helena_fortuna.
If a native Swiss goes to Bavaria to skimp and treat a friend from Ukraine, this says something, given that they are also tightfisted.

alex45 - this suggests that - as you wrote there -: "they are also fisted."
But - Antonina567 is going to Switzerland.
And, hardly on the way, he will stop by Bovaria - in order to save on a present.
And if your son goes shopping there, that doesn't tell me anything.
And when I go on vacation to Zermatt, I don't care
what's in Bovary.
I am here and now. And I want to buy something nice.
So what is it ?
Of course - Swiss CHOCOLATE!

My son does not go shopping, he traveled all over Europe in his car, God forbid you drive like that. Therefore, I trust him more than you. And I am not writing to you, but to TS. How Antonina travels to Switzerland (what route) You too
because you don't know.
And answering you with your aggressive style - I absolutely do not care when you go to Zermatt for a holiday, what you do there, and what kind of chocolate you drink. And buy Swiss chocolate if you want.
And the guys needed Bavarian beer. And they went after him to Bavaria, since there are cars and they were not tied to a place, like YOU.
because you don't know.

And kolyan_cat wrote a lot of informative things about Swiss chocolate and Belgian chocolate too (all this was brought and tried)!
But, GE-GE, helena_fortuna, if he overeats chocolate, then you will not get enough for a long time. Good luck to you in this matter.
By the way, it is better to buy Swiss watches in Gibraltar (duty-free zone), cheaper than in Switzerland, of the same brands. And whiskey is cheaper than in Scotland for the same reason. We were on a cruise with a friend, we bought a watch there.

In addition, I will say that "Swiss" and "Belgian" chocolates for chocolate makers are made in one huge factory, in Belgium, in the glorious city of Halle, which is located near Brussels. A bunch of other chocolates are also made there, which tourists buy in chocolate shops in Amsterdam, Paris, etc. under the guise of "local" chocolate.

I thought that passions boil only on the Israeli branch, but no, it is storming even in Switzerland)). Alex and Kolya, your information is purely for the consumer and may be useful for shopping tourism, and Lena talks about pure tourism, when a person came to Belgium or Switzerland for a couple of days, wants to take a walk, look and, of course, sit in a cafe with chocolate. Such a tourist should not spoil this attraction with deep knowledge of chocolate production. It is clear that in our time the productivity of the food industry is increased at the expense of quality. And if we learn how sausage, milk, bread, etc. are made, then we will simply die of hunger)).

I always like it when they tell us why we give information. The question of the HARDWARE - "what can I bring from Switzerland?" And then about the euro. My opinion is that Switzerland is an expensive country, so even native Swiss go to Bavaria to be stingy.
And what kind of tourist did this information spoil the mood from a vacation in Switzerland.
And I saw something else - the imposition of my opinion from helena_fortuna and disrespectful statements about the opinions of others. I repeat - I don’t care about her love for milk chocolate, maybe for milk sausage and coffee with milk. Let her describe it in stories about Switzerland. At the same time, she will remember about the advertisement of Swiss cows from Milka! Swiss milk, and chocolate from near Brussels, and advertising to Ukraine!
Here are TS answers to her question, not a story about the taste of chocolate. They tried it and brought it from different countries of Europe. After all, I am not writing here about Parma prosciutto and jamon. There are also in Switzerland, and you can find matzah from Israel! That's where it is!

Unforgettable memories, gorgeous photos, tan, if summer. And also the feeling that you have visited one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I traveled along its roads, raced on skis, along the mountain slopes, drank clean water from a spring, kneeling.
